Allegedly IRGC troops on Kharg island have fpv equipped with anti personnel mines now, pilot trained by Russian and "someone from a mystery country in the east"; those pilots then served as instructors and trained more local soldiers.

Some irrelevant news:
On March 9, 2026, Shenzhen Huasupai International Logistics announced the official opening of the China-Iran direct railway corridor, launching the PSP dedicated line. The Shenzhen/Xi'an-Tehran route offers a direct journey of 15 days, with regular two-way service.
Trial operation began on March 4, with improved customs clearance efficiency and stable transport capacity.
Route: China → Kazakhstan → Turkmenistan → Iran (Tehran Aprin Land Port).

Spreading misinformation on landing site prior to actual amphibious landings have been practiced since the second world war, and the last significant one was the landing in Kuwait during Gulf war.

The actual landing by US or US-Israelis forces could be anywhere other than the 2 Iranian islands mentioned in previous pages. They could land on places closed to Arab lands like Iraq or Kuwait for close proximity fire and logistic support, or even at the choking point of the straits to force unblocking, or places at the coast of Arabian Sea close to Pakistan which would make re-supply and rotation of troops easier.

War is also about deception, and US has demonstrated that by attacking Iran while negotiation was carried on.
Even if they could take an island near the strait, then what? Every day Iran is going to be dropping all manner of ordinance on their head with drones and missiles ala Snake Island and how does marine's presence on those islands open up the strait? The methods that Iranians have been using to shut the strait from ships they don't want through - missile boats, mines, anti-ship missiles don't stop working just because US has an island foothold there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but ever since Force Design 2030 marines have been training to take islands then unload this thing onto those island to shoot at ships:

Which is questionably useful against PLAN in the pacific, but in the Persian Gulf this doctrine would be good at closing the strait, not opening it?

The US keeps on saying every day "we won" everyday they say there are negotiations.

Meanwhile Iran keeps on saying there are no negotiations.

Iran military spokesperson says US is negotiating with itself​


The United States is negotiating with itself, an Iranian military spokesman ‌said according to state media on Wednesday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Tehran wants to make a deal to end the ⁠war in the Middle East.

A 15-point plan aimed at putting an end to the conflict was drafted by Washington and sent to Tehran, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

"Has the level of your inner struggle reached ‌the ⁠stage of you negotiating with yourself?" Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the unified command of Iran's armed forces, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, ⁠taunted the U.S. leadership.
