Is Donald Trump marching into a trap? As the US-Iran war reignites over the struggle to control the Strait of Hormuz, leaked reports suggest Washington is again considering an amphibious ground offensive to seize Kharg Island – Iran’s primary oil export hub – or some other coastal territory.
In part two of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks to former US Marine Colonel Andy Milburn about why that would be a terrible idea. Andy breaks down why an amphibious landing along the Iranian coastline is a tactical dead-end, how Tehran’s decentralized “Mosaic Doctrine” is designed to survive Western airstrikes, and why the US Navy is structurally unprepared to clear heavily mined shipping lanes.
