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.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.
