Why dealing with the Strait of Hormuz is so difficult

[Mac1958]

This is a really interesting look at the geography surrounding the Hormuz area, and why it would be so difficult to control that area.

This guy is a digital mapping specialist. A few points he makes:

• There's 500 miles of rough terrain in Iran along the Gulf, making it easy for them to hide buildings, bunkers, drones & missle launchers to attack anyone who threatens them
• Iran is the entire northern boundary of the Gulf, which is why insurance companies have said "no thanks" to financing ships
• Land invasions would likely have to come from the West, Iraq or Kuwait, who wouldn't be thrilled with Iran bombing their infrastructure in response
• Kharg Island is up in the northwestern area of the Gulf and not easy to get to, let alone having to supply/support military for a length of time
• Any neighboring country that assists us would have their gas fields blown up, and that is very unlikely

So it's complicated. Iran has been planning this for decades, and whether it works for them or not, they do have a plan.

The Iranian leadership, to remind you people, believes in their nonsense, just as MAGA does.

Get out of debt, have an economic plan for your living needs the next several years, and remember that America is "to care for the poor and ill, the widow and orphan" and "to do unto others as you wish them to do unto you."

Maybe starting a war wasn`t the felon`s best idea. On the other hand, it did put the Epstein conversations on hold.

Why is everything so difficult for the MIC these days? Because if the only tool in your toolbox is a bomb, everything looks like a terrerrist, and you get paid for every bomb you sell.

For my entire adult life every war was a bottom line force multiplier for the MIC and our pointless wars in the ME only advanced Greater Israel

Yeah....starting 5 wars is better, just ask Bath house Barry.

I remember reading about a paper hanging SOB that started a war because he hated the Jews.

His country was about the size of Iran.
