If they deploy those marines onto that island, how is that going to work when that island is within artillery range of the Iranian coast? Not to mention drones and rockets.

Saudi Arabia has slashed oil output by roughly 20% as the war with Iran continues to choke off exports from the Persian Gulf, in what could become one of the largest sudden supply losses the global oil market has ever faced.

Saudi production has dropped by about 2 million barrels per day to around 8 million bpd after the kingdom shut down output from the massive Safaniya and Zuluf offshore fields, according to sources cited by Reuters.

Those islands are all within rocket artillery range from Iran and so talk about "capture" is meaningless, as Iran can land a shell on every square metre of these islands within hours.

So the US is calculating that they can find and destroy any such Iranian artillery since they have air superiority. I do agree that Iran can find other ways to shoot at the Marines so lets hope it doesn't get to that point.

As Iran has shot down so many drones, then it will be much more difficult as artillery can be located many 10s of kms inland and also remember SRBMs and drones will wreck absolute havoc on such small islands.

And lets not overestimate them either.

The one thing Iran will not be short of, is people willing to pick up a gun and go after the MEU..

Fair enough.

The one thing that many of those folks in this thread do not understand is just what all an MEU brings with it. Hence the ability to operate independently in a hostile environment for up to 90 days.
 
regarding the deployment of ground troops news, I hate to break it to you, successful deployment is not possible without any help inside the IR, which does not seem too far off, give the performance (or lack of) from the IR NAvy
