Well Iran's strategy is the squeeze the world dry from oil as long as it can. They will never give into bombing and even if the USA takes over Karge Island--which would be a disaster for the USA like for the french at Bein Bein Phu in Vietnam. Iran is going to lay off and pummel them with drones and cluster munitions--that's if they even get that far that is. They will have to have a local staging point and that will be targeted. If the US is foolish enough to run the Hormuz Straight with troop ships and landing craft--the will encounter a shooting gallery. Even that crazy old Indian General from the video I posted above see the outcomes and danger. And once they get there--where will the close materials support come from that is out of range of Iran?

All Iran has to do is hold out and survive. Bomb them all you want--but as long as these missile cities exist, with literally thousands and thousands of missiles and drones inside, they hold the upper hand in this new kind of warfare. We are approaching them like it's sill 1991 and the first Iraq war.
