#Trump, used expletive-laden language to call on #Iran to let ships through the #StraitOfHormuz as he threatened to further #attack #this #Iranian energy and transport #infrastructure.

Writing on #TruthSocial Trump said: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”

Iran’s parliament speaker responded with a warning that the US president’s “reckless moves” would mean “our whole region is going to burn”. Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, added in a social media post: “Make no mistake: You won’t gain anything through war crimes. The only real solution is respecting the rights of the Iranian people and ending this dangerous game.”

Trump was sharply rebuked by US politicians, including #Republican former ally #MarjorieTaylorGreene, who called on the administration to “intervene in Trump’s #madness”, adding the president “has gone insane, and all of you are complicit”.

Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer wrote “the President of the United States is ranting like an #unhinged #madman on social media”. Schumer added: “He’s threatening possible #warcrimes and alienating allies. This is who he is, but this is not who we are. Our country deserves so much better.”

“Seizing the Kharg: Washington’s path to defeat in the Persian Gulf”

“The US-Israeli air campaign was supposed to break Iran. It didn’t. Now the hawks are pushing for boots on the ground. But the ground war being floated does not simply risk American lives on an island 15 miles (around 24 kilometers) off Iran’s coast. It threatens the entire US military architecture in the Persian Gulf – the bases, the alliances, and the energy infrastructure that has underwritten American dominance in West Asia for decades”

Seizing the Kharg: Washington’s path to defeat in the Persian Gulf

A push to occupy Kharg Island may promise quick gains but risks pulling the US into a wider war it cannot contain or control in the Gulf.

Such a mission would expose #US personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones & missiles, ground fire & IEDs. It was unclear Saturday whether #Trump would approve all, some or none of the #Pentagon’s plans.

The Trump admin in recent days has vacillated between declaring that the #war is winding down & threatening to amplify it.

The #Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in #Iran, #US ofcls said, as thousands of soldiers & Marines arrive in the #MiddleEast for what could become a dangerous new phase of the #war should #Trump choose to escalate.

Any ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion & could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Ops forces & conventional infantry troops, said the ofcls.

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran

If President Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.

Keep in mind as more troops arrive, 50,000 US troops are already stationed in the Middle East

@DrALJONES
I don’t know, I feel like I’ve been hearing about these ‘boots on the ground’ (“US ground forces”) for so long that I wonder if something’s happened to them or maybe they’ve gone to ground somewhere else? Otherwise what’s keeping them?

#Trump was openly peeved, for example, by a #WSJ report published Wednesday stating that he was eager to wrap up the #IranWar and move on. “I read a story today that I’m desperate to make a deal…. I’m the opposite of desperate. I don’t care"

oh, boots and ground... either on the ground or under the ground are a serious thing
