Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.

The Trump administration has been weighing using US troops to seize the tiny island in the northeastern Persian Gulf — an economic lifeline for Iran that handles roughly 90% of the country’s crude exports — as leverage over the Iranians to coerce them to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, CNN has reported.

    There’s a lot of critics and everyone could have their own opinion on how it should be done, but no one has done nothing about it until now so stop your whining and have faith and pray for our troops.

    Any decision that leads to the loss of elite American forces and their return in body bags deserves to be reconsidered a thousand times before being treated as a political option.

    You believe that they are moving equipment and out to the island and walking around building defensiveness and we are letting them go back and forth to the island You are really stupid or just lying 90 percent of Iran oil is there we need to take it so that it’s not destroyed by the Iranian government and pump off the oil and sending it to the country’s that didn’t betray the us Israel Saudia Arabia and the other 27 countries that live in the middle east

    This is my opinion. Give me out before we lost all those airplanes. Donald Trump was talking about sending in special forces remember almost 2000 or 500 to take the kharg Island. And I ran was daring go him to do. At this time joe kent quit and said that we had no business going into Iran remember. And then he filed a whole bunch whole bunch of generals and then all of a sudden how much air airplane end up blowing up and we end up rescuing our lost soldier I think he sent them in try to open it straight of Homuz and take it and Iran was waiting for. We still haven’t even seen. I have a pilot. I would not be surprised if we lost soldiers along with those aircraft and they’re holding it from us. Because that’s what Donald Trump thinks he can do if someone doesn’t do what he say fire till he finds someone that will.
