Ground Invasion Of Iran Is WORSE Than We All Thought

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson declared this week that Tehran's leadership is 'counting down the minutes to welcome' a U.S. ground invasion, as the Pentagon prepares plans for Special Operations Forces raids and potential seizure of Kharg Island — Iran's primary crude oil export terminal — backed by 82nd Airborne elements and A-10 Thunderbolt II close air support. Retired CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie advocated the Kharg Island operation on CBS Face the Nation, calling possession of Iranian soil 'a significant factor in future negotiations.' Former F-15E Strike Eagle combat pilot and Thunderbirds demonstration pilot Ryan Bodenheimer breaks down the A-10's employment doctrine in a contested coastal environment, how Anduril's YFQ-44A Fury autonomous AI wingman — which fired the first live air-to-air AIM-120 AMRAAM in U.S. autonomous combat drone history on July 10th — changes the close air support picture for ground forces, and why the ground operation Iran has been war-gaming for thirty years looks nothing like what the U.S. military is actually preparing.
