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!

I also think it's a bluff. His current strategy seems to be to say literally everything, and do everything except escalate. I don't know how he ends up wrapping this up. My guess is pretend it never happened, but now Iran collects a tax an all shipments through the strait. Israel probably won't even put up much fuss.
