2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

I can't imagine how can you escort that strait. It is unbelievably dangerous for war ships to enter such finite space plus so many third party container ships around the area. At the narrowest width is 50km wide but the shipping lane is a meagre 3.7km, just some artillery, mlrs can be dangerous for the container ships.

I really think Iran has US/Israel by the balls. They are taking a huge beating for sure but they know it is war for survival, they are going to dig in, and squeeze it where it hurts(the strait). US/Israel might not have a choice but to put SOF, and later boots on the ground as the war escalate. I can't image what Media PR can Israel/US do to claim victory like last time. They already killed the ayatollah and already used the nuclear excuse. And even if US wants out, I don't think Iran is going to let him go.

Macroni's tweet, they are building a 'coalition' that wants to secure the route shown on the map. Europe will get desperate without Hormuz.

That's the same coalition that failed to break much smaller Houthis' blockade of Red Sea, twice.

It's also a moot point, because a single LNG tanker filing up in Qatar getting blown up will take out the entire port, and then some.

Indeed, more drone strikes on oil facilities and docks too will stop/slow the fuelling process. They just admitted to the senators that they can't stop the drone strikes.

Kurds were only able to do that in Iraq because US has boots on the ground, for 15 years.
Right now things would pan out if they can regain access to ME energy before the entire western economy collapses.

the initial invasion wont be done by the US themselves. rather more likely Iraqi Kurds (Peshmerga) will be used in addition to PKK & YPG. they would cross the border into the neighbouring Iranian Kurdish area backed by heavy US bombing in addition to some US special forces.

after that these Kurds would start rercruiting local Iranian Kurds.

Trump's political future and legacy will be fully fked.

This is how its going to be, they gonna do 2 sided attacks on Iran.
My own pov based on what Israeli tvs have been saying 2 days ago and are now being corroborated in US media-senators etc.
They mentioned 3 paths to attack iran,
1) One of the was Iraq -erbil-to tabriz> This is what they are hoping the Kurds (if they do it) will help with,
2) Another they mentioned is Via gulf states to strait into Iran, avoiding the mountainous western iran

They are rushing towards 1st option right now thinking its quicker to get them to move, while they use the time to buildup for option 2, meanwhile the EU-navy coalition along with USN will move into the strait to secure the area for future more 'special operation' troop landings.
Israel tv was just talking about using gulf-states own forces to be included in this sea route attack.

Atleast this is what I have seen from the various stuff coming from both israel and us-eu.

the 3rd path they talked was was one small force via azerbaijan to caspian to tehran to attack/liberate the capital but that sounds insane.

All of those "options" are utterly insane.
