Republicans are nothing if not flexible:

Time and time again, they have argued against putting boots on the ground, but — magically — Trump sending the US marines to attack the Iranian island of Kharg is not boots on the ground.

Iran has floating islands? I knew they used to be ahead of much of the world and have a lot of cool ancient architecture, but floating islands, that's so cool.

Maybe a further development of the hanging gardens of Babylon?
