Only hit military targets on the island and left all the oil infrastructure on and leading to the Island (e.g. tanks, pump houses, piping, pipelines to mainland well locations, etc). Threatened that the oil infrastructure is at risk if Iran shuts down the straight thus blocking ship traffic.
That's a wise decision at least
I do wonder what the administration expected to happen by now. Did they expect the mullahs to flee to China or moscow? Did they expect a popular uprising by now? Two weeks is no time to panic but I am curious what they expected to happen at this point in time.

they already shut down the straight to allied nations . they are allowing the ships to friendly countries pass through . At least until the Marines sieze all the islands in the straight . I will also assume the possibility that the Marines will take some small ports on the main land with the intention to bring the Iranian army to battle. Once an air umbrella is established , The Iranians may just as well shoot themselves in the head to avoid the long ride . Then again they do like Russia did in WW2 and pull back into the interior stretching thier suppy lines and air support
The only unknown variable is the number of drones Iran can bring to bear or if or when they can construct a crude nuke or already have them or the precursors to make them .

I think the CIA backed revolution failed . I never did buy that it was real . its been tried many times in past there and it never worked. plan B was the Kurds. And that fell through. Plan C is just get that goddamn straight open before Europe collapses . I honestly think they believed iran would sue for peace once the damage was done.
But how can Iran negotiate with a country that attacked them during negotiations twice? WTF? How do you trust that? thats like your wife cheating on you twice and then promises they wont do it again, and they do then say I swear. it wont happen again . Come on.
The US lost credibility . dont know WTF Trump was thinking other than he is owned

President Trump Announces Strategic Obliteration of Iranian Military Assets on Kharg Island
The oil processing facilities at Kharg Island are a foundational component of Iran’s economy. Roughly 90 percent of Iran’s crude is processed at Kharg Island, and any disruption to its oil processing could cripple Iran’s economy.https://theconservativetreehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/kharg-island-v2.jpg
President Trump announced: “Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.”
President Trump Announces Strategic Obliteration of Iranian Military Assets on Kharg Island - The Last Refuge
Kharg Island is a small coral island in Iran in the northern Persian Gulf. It is 34 miles (55 km) northwest of the port of Bushehr and vital to Iran’s oil industry. The oil processing facilities at Kharg Island are a foundational component of Iran’s economy. Roughly 90 percent of Iran’s crude is...

We've effectively cut off a big % of Chinas oil supply between our moves in Venezuela and Iran. How long before they decide to defend that supply with military actions in both theatres?

Actually, Iran was allowing friendly countries to ship through the gulf . And you can bet the farm that Russia and China and N korea are sending military aid to Iran . Although I heard Iran was pretty pissed off that Chinese air defense weapons were useless.
you know if there is sticker that says made in China, its junk .
Acme do it yourself guided ,ground to air interceptor missile:
China's problem is they don't have much ability to project naval power across the world. They don't have the type of navy that can convoy their oil shipments to and from Iran.
An imperfect plan implemented quickly is generally superior to a perfect plan that is never executed, a philosophy often summarized by General George S. Patton's maxim: "A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week". This approach prioritizes immediate action and momentum over paralyzing perfectionism, allowing for adjustments through real-world feedback.That escalated quickly.
Trump says US ‘obliterated’ military targets in strike on key Iranian oil hub: 'Powerful bombing raids'
President Trump said the U.S. bombed Iran’s Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub, and warned against interference in the Strait of Hormuz.www.foxnews.com
America should assure China gets oil, while leveraging the situation to the maximum effect, beneficial to the USA.
Being "friends" with any country, including China, is often better in the long run.

Trump just invited everybody, including the Chinese by name, to send escorts.
It may be intended to embarrass them, I wonder if he expects the Chinese to actually do it.
If they ignore an invention to protect their own vital national interests, they look weak.

A prudent decision from a country that began a major war due to lack of oil 84 years ago.
It's smart to make China dependent on Oil, that the USA can keep flowing.
And at a market price.

In battle, any plan, no matter how good or bad is always moot the moment the first bullet flies. Battles have a life of their own and will take unexpected turns rendering any plan useless. This is what makes a swift response superior to drawn out planning with delayed action.

I didnt mean we cut their oil by Iran closing the strait. China was buying cutrate sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran. I think it was like 75-80% of their oil imports. That stopped flowing when we hit Venez and Iran. They cant be too happy with that situation.
They are going to be even worse off when the oil does start flowing again. Iran/Venezuela previously sold oil to China priced/paid in Chinese yuan. That was putting pressure on the Petro dollar. Now when buying Venezuelan oil China has to pay in USA dollars. I would assume the same will happen when the Iranian govt falls.

Iranian Regime Clerics Flee to Safe Harbor of Canada?
This is quite a remarkable development. Someone in the Toronto airport captured video of Iranian Cleric Hojjatoleslam Morteza Tayebi arriving in Canada yesterday [Video Here]. As the story is told, apparently 700+ members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who carry out regime terrorism, reside or have dual citizenship in Canada. [HERE]

Why? Mar 11, 2026
The government knows there are IRGC agents here in Canada.They know these terrorists perpetuate violence, terrify our citizens, and do the work of the mullahs in our own streets.
But the government lets them stay in Canada anyways. Why?

The entire modern world runs on oil.
If you won't fight for that, then what would you fight for ?

And energy use, gasoline etc is only a small portion of what oil is used for. Its used to make everything, just think about how much is used just to pave roads all over the world.

Try doing *anything* without using something plastic.
You won't eat, no medicine, electricity nothing

Even the Amish would struggle in a world without oil.
Iranians are arrogant fucks for sure...dumb maybe, but definitely arrogant.
