6. right, the oil supply question is playing a weird role in tactics.

iran is trying to lower world oil supply to put pressure on america and the world, even at the expense of its own revenue.

taking kharg island seems to be trying hurt iran's revenue even at the expense of lowering world oil supply. in the short term, we seem to be helping iran's plan along.

maybe the idea is just to take the island so donnie can sell it to the saudis (for personal profit, no doubt), who can then operate it and take a cut of all iranian oil that passes through it once the war ends and normal operations resume. doesn't have much to do with iran's alleged nuclear activities or israel's security or whatever, but that would be par for the course for the criminal-in-chief.

i.e., maybe it doesn't make sense because it's not a military mission, it's a financial one....
