US could take Kharg Island with Ground Troops - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 11.31am post the following, " US' considers occupying Iranian island' - and why that would be 'really serious' for Tehran  " 

Let's Get Real:

If US takes Kharg Island it would force Tehran not to threaten the Strait of Hormuz, Kharg Island is the tap of Iranian oil, therefore the US could turn the tab off and on for Iranian oil.  That would bring the Tehran Regime to its knees.  This would mean placing ground troops on Iranian soil, the Democrats would go mad, but could be useful for the Republicans in the Mid Terms in November.

Trump wants 200 billion to fight Iran War - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.28pm update the following, " Trump confirms he will ask Congress for $200bn to fund war on Iran  "

Let's Get Real:

The Democrats in Congress will have fun with this, they have to be careful that they are not seen as stabbing their soldiers in the back while the US is at war.  This spending request, could be a major fight up to the Mid Terms in November.  The Trump Oval will have to fight those in the MAGA base who oppose any war.  Interesting time ahead for Congress.

No US troops on the Ground - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 3.59pm post the following, " US president also says: "I'm not putting troops anywhere - and if I was, I wouldn't tell you. (Press )"

Let's Get Real:

POTUS is right, never tell the press what you are doing, they will only spin it in a negative way, they are Liberal Elite press after all.   The use of ground troops should be selective, as in taking Kharg Island or going after Iran's nuclear stockpile.  If the Elite press had been around in WW2, they all would have been thrown in the Brig by President Roosevelt and PM Churchill.

US is working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz- Israeli PM

BBC News: Reports in its 7.28pm post thec following " US is working hard to open Strait of Hormuz, Netanyahu says "

Let's Get Real:

The US and Israel are working hard to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Allies should have made sure it was not closed in the first place, they should have warned that any such action would lead to the fall of the Regime and US ground troops.  The Tehran Regime is still there, and its nuclear stockpile, both must be removed, or the operation is a FAILURE.   POTUS needs to understand that end leads the destruction of Presidential credibility. Trump should recalled what happened to LBJ, Bush 43, Obama, and finally his predecessor Biden and Afghanistan.

Let's Get Real:

This is an escalation of the US - Iran War, US and Israel are going for the throat of Iran, also to the Countries that use the gas, this blog suggested that the UK and Europeans would pay price for snubbing Trump on the Strait of Hormuz and therefore an escalation, it is reported on BBC News that Iran has halted the Gas supply to Iraq.  Trump and Israel have to win in Iran.

Israel kills Iranian Intelligence Minister - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.19am post the following, " Iranian intelligence minister killed, Israel says "

Let's Get Real:

Thus Israel is keeping up the tempo, this is their chance to set the board for the Middle East for decades, and also to remove threats to Israel.  The Israeli armed forces should use this chance, while Trump is on board, POTUS is so erratic, he might declare victory tomorrow, with Tehran Regime still in place, and their access to its nuclear stockpile, so Israel should use this time wisley, eliminate who they must and be ready for a new Middle East at some point.

Ukraine will suffer because of Iran War - Update

BBC News: Reports the following " Ukraine faces missile shortage due to Middle East war, says  Zelensky  "

Let's Get Real:

The war in the Ukraine is the main war, it could lead to WW3 if it develops or if Russia wins.  The Europeans might pay a price for not supporting Trump over the Iran War.  The US might decided that Europe should carry the military load for the Ukraine as its attention and interest are in Iran.  There will be a price that the UK and Europe will pay for snubbing Trump over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, can they carry the Ukraine and NATO?
