Ryan Grimm, for his part, said that Naval Special Warfare units were given deployment orders today. My current bet is that Kharg is the distraction and they actually want to make a play for Iran's uranium stockpile. Arguably even stupider than trying to take Kharg Island.

We're going to see dead seal operators like frankly no one has seen outside of the vietnam war folks!

This is plausible. There hasn't really been enough of a buildup of ground forces for an invasion of Iran, which would take months.

They'd have to somehow get on the ground, into the mountains, past the IRGC, then airlift the uranium out before exfil. Simple 5 step plan easy peasy.

Caught my eye, lmao they're going to die in the mountains and their bodies left behind.

Better than immediately getting spotted at shore, killing two fishermen and running away crying

That doesn't really preclude a nation as historically hubristic as the US, particularly under this admin, from attempting a quick invasion anyway
