Have they tried to cross? If not there's little reason to do so, given that they could be hypothetically made to pay for transit after one potential outcome of the conflict. That's like 10 million bucks or so. And then there's the risk of environmental pollution, etc...There are nominaly 5 us flagged tankers in gulf with us crews. Why isnt iran targeting them?
Because it would be stupid to attack an unarmed vessel without any justification whatsoever. If someone tries to run the blockade, after having been warned, only then there is literally no choice left for the Iranian forces.There are nominaly 5 us flagged tankers in gulf with us crews.

I doubt anything will happen.Whats the prevailing opinion now gents? 1 full month of fairly high intensity warfare. Iran has definitely come out on top here.
My hunch is the marines/ UAE will go for Tunbs/ Abu-Musa.
Why? I think our islands are even more vulnerable because once they're invaded, we'll have no way of moving our troops there. Taking them back will be very difficult without an air force and a navy.That would be suicidal bro. They'll just send in the B52/B1/B2s and bomb the shit out of the islands. Troops need to be dug in the mainland. Let them put boots on the ground on the islands. Soon as they do, launch hundreds of missiles on them.
Assuming they invade an island of ours, they will provide them with air-defense and close air support and they will relocate to strategic places there and hide in our buildings. If we hit our islands, we won't kill only US troops, we will destroy our own islands as well.You don't even need to put your troops in harm's way. Just strike them with missiles and drone. And watch them die and enjoy pop corns. It's like a live Netflix show. They are naturally at a serious disadvantage,and surrounded by the coastline.
