Trump still doesn't know the Iranians. They are waiting for this issue to see what trouble they will get into. The era of bullying and looting is over.

Pretty much everything you see in the press and on social media must be considered possible disinformation at this point. Including this.

I really doubt there will be any effort to "take control" of Kharg. Instead, I would expect there to be multiple commando-style missions inside Iraq, to continue to decimate the regime loyalists and to look for and take out the enriched uranium. Also to attack and destroy wherever they are producing the Sheheds, and wherever they are producing or storing or transporting the the various components used to make the Sheheds. When Iran's ability to shoot Sheheds is gone, with their air defenses decimated, without a functioning air force, with a near-dead navy, then they are down to street fighting. It will be possible for Israeli/US forces to take control of strategic territory inside the country and to begin to arm the native contras. It'll be the start of the new Iranian Revolution.

At any rate, Israel/US is not going to declare "Mission Accomplished!" while the Straits is still closed and while the Iranian regime still has control of N-bomb making material. Despite what DJT continues to say re: timeframe for exit, I would not be surprised if there are plans for a long-term US military presence in Iran. This will allow the "wartime POTUS" to declare national emergencies of various types and to continue the plan for canceling the mid-term elections. Trump fears electoral defeat much more than anything.

Iran in the 70s had one of the lowest literacy rates in the region, it was around 30%, compared to current hovering around 90%

Life expectancy was one of lowest in the region, compared to now, which is world wide average.

Development was also one of the worst among regional countries.

The charts compared Iran in the 70s, as in pahlavi era with regional countries like Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Kuwait and did similar comparison after the Islamic revolution with the same countries and showed improvements in all areas, remarkable improvements actually!

The Islamic revolution lifted millions out of poverty and educated them.
- Iran is almost 100% self-sufficient in everything due to sanctions, this means you need smart and capable populace
- You cant support a 100 million country, while under the most brutal sanction regime and have stupid populace
- Iran scores the highest in the world in womens higher education, when compared per capita
- It produces scientists on conveyor belts

--- Iran's model is threat to empire, hence why this propaganda push targeting it for decades - Iran's capabilities were unlocked due to the Islamic values and visions.

Initial surge strategy: Saturate AD systems and interceptors with cheap and old missiles.
- Target radars and AD systems with high quality missiles and drones
- Once radars and AD are rendered useless/destroyed - pick target with high quality missiles.
- During escalation periods(assassinations, energy facilities attacks) Iran responds in kind by higher quantity of launches

Tactically, they can obviously do it. Strategical, political success? Unlikely, considering the gulf war was the only strategic success.

The Shahs of the Pahlavi dynasty (Reza Shah, r. 1925–41; Mohammad Reza Shah, r. 1941–79) initiated top-down reforms, notably the 1963 White Revolution, to modernize Iran. Key initiatives included drastic land reform benefiting millions of families, elevating women's rights (voting), nation-wide education, industrial privatization, and infrastructure development, largely aiming to weaken traditional elites.

Key modernization initiatives included:
[White Revolution (1963): A 19-point program designed to reshape Iran, including land redistribution to 2.5 million families, nationalization of forests, and privatization of state industries.

[Social and Legal Reforms: Women gained the right to vote, increased access to higher education, and legal reforms were introduced.

[Educational Upgrades: The "Literacy Corps" sent educated soldiers to rural areas to teach, aiming to eliminate illiteracy. Massive funding was directed into establishing new universities and sending students abroad.

[Infrastructure & Industry: Significant investment in building roads, railways, and industrial projects. Profit-sharing plans were introduced to give factory workers 20% of net profits.

[Secularization and Cultural Change: Reza Shah introduced compulsory Western dress, banned the public wearing of the hijab (chador) in 1935, and forced the removal of veils, targeting traditional Shi'a influence.

[Judicial and Military Changes: Replaced religious laws with European-influenced judicial codes and significantly expanded the army, making it a professional force.

These changes were rapid and caused significant resentment among the clergy and rural populations, contributing to the instability that led to the 1979 Revolution.

Trump is after energy dominance. Kharg Island is his wet dream. Take and hold that, and he gets a cut of all oil flowing out of Iran. Add this to American energy production, Venezuela, and (in his imagination) Canada, and then he controls a significant portion of the global hydrocarbon market.

To control Kharg Island, he needs to control the regime. It goes without saying that the current regime won’t cooperate, or even stop blowing stuff up, and this makes production hard. Once kinetic action dies down, somebody needs to work the fields. The current plan is for the Israelis to keep killing leaders and IRGC infrastructure until one faction with guns decides to throw their lot in with him.

Of course, to take Kharg, Trump also needs to open the straits. This is very dangerous, as at points they are ~20 miles wide. Expressions like shooting fish in a barrel come to mind. However, he has a clever plan: get allies and merchant marines to act as decoys to draw out fire and then kill the people firing. It is pretty much impossible to do this without casualties. But hey, that is what allies are for.

With that, he will have achieved his goals: own the oil and f*ck the global order, the regime, and the allies.
