Building what I wrote a few days ago, the real world just keeps busting out these rhymes.

Newest bar being the US 82nd Airborne potentially meeting the same fate the VDV did.
The biggest lesson from use of VDV in the opening days of SVO back in 2022 was you should not base the success of your entire operation on airborne troops achieving their objective. The correct way to use airborne is like on D-day with 82nd and 101st were if they achieve their objectives then it's a nice to have but if they fail then it won't endanger the whole op. The flip side is Operation Market Garden and Battle of Hostomel Airport, if things go pear shaped they endanger your whole plan then you panic and rush other troops trying to salvage the situation and then the whole thing becomes a cluster.

Trump looks like he's ready to repeat that mistake.

There are three things you can hit to 'close' Hormuz:
  • Ships
  • Ports
  • Oil infrastructure (like wells & storage)
Iran has already demonstrated all three. Of course, many governments in the EU, East Asia, and elsewhere are unhappy, but it's a straightforward idea. The targets are close, it weakens the Petrodollar, and might even foment unrest in the GCC against unpopular monarchs.

Saudi's MBS has been opressing the rest of the

in Sudan. Also, Bahrain's King wobbles everytime something happens and needs the Saudis to bail him out.

Mind you, that's mostly drones and missiles, Iran can also do boots on the ground. Fear of an FPV drone, IED, or a well placed shot is possibly why MBS for example has not been seen in public for some time now. The others have been seen walking around, but not MBS, the guy seems very paranoid.

So, I read the Pakistani deployment, whatever shape it takes, as a response to the paranoia that seems to govern MBS. Maybe he thinks the Iranians know he goaded Trump into it. Who knows.

No idea how credible this is. Hard to believe anything about this war right now with all the disinformation about Chinese and Russian equipment “failing" AI videos everywhere, and every strike being called a decoy.
Sharing it anyway just in case
The satellite images that Iran keeps releasing are not all coming from the handful of satellites that they control. Someone is helping them
