I don't think so. Even if US can defeat whatever troops they have until they arrive to oil fields there will be a much bigger problem. Whatever short range missile and drones will fall over them from well protected áreas inside the country.
These demilitarized roaches from Europe have no militaries or other coercive capabilities.
What Germany can do with its military of 179.000 troops, 150 tanks, 100 Taurus missiles, couple of vessels and lack of power projection capabilities?
How Iran treats Germany? In 2011 Iran at first allowed Angela Merkels plane to pass over its airspace but then denied passage forcing her plane to make circles over Turkey.

This is how Iran treats Japan:
On June 13, 2019, Shinzo Abe met with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran. It was a historic trip—the first by a sitting Japanese prime minister to Iran in over 40 years
And the same day when Abe was talking with Khamenei, Iran hit Japanese oil tankers in the Gulf.
Iran treats Gulf Arabs in the same way - this is how Saudi Arabia will look like if Trump attacks Iran's electricity infrastructure.
Iran speaks equally only with the likes of US, China, Russia.
Is Iran NOT hitting civilian cargo ships in the strait of Hormuz????? What is the difference then?
I could be wrong but no destroyers are operating within the SOH they are mostly off the Omani coast or in the Arabian sea. The mine sweepers being used are autonomous I dont think either the British or the Germans have autonomous minesweepers in the area. Add to that it was reported that the Germans and Brits wont be using them under war conditions.Mine clearance operations are actually underway, mine sweepers don't operate on their own they have escort ships such as destroyers and command ships.
The US have also been conducting mine clearing operations:
US Navy conducts autonomous minehunting operations in the Strait of Hormuz - Navy Lookout
With Iran possibly having mined the Strait of Hormuz, it has been confirmed that the US Navy is deploying autonomous systems in an effort to assess and then clear the mine threat. This will be a major test of autonomous mine countermeasures capabilities in a very demanding operational...www.navylookout.com
US is following the zionist strategy of collective punishment. They want to bring the government down this way. But this has usually failed and only real way of achieving that is ground troops.
Its the same as US warships hitting any tankers or ships heading for Iran - a move to try and control the SOH. A ship cant be classified as "civilian infrastructure" but it is a civilian vessel.
They have hit 6 bridges last night. They are preparing for a ground invasion clearly.
