Marines wouldn't operate the equipment. But you'd deny the enemy ability to operate it.Given that the strategic position of Kharg is too open to attack, isn't all this designed to lure Iran into sending loads of troops and materiel onto the island, then carpet bombing the whole lot, damaging the military and wrecking the economy? It's not like even if the marines took it successfully they will be controlling the equipment, surely?
Not when you have all these mad men around and you're no better.All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.

Let's see if Tom is right

Solves the need to destroy it... But at the cost of putting boots on the ground. Which I think is not popular.
Unlikely Iran would strike its own infrastructure to kill Marines though.
I kinda find the scenario unlikely. It will be 2 weeks before they'd be able to do an amphibious assault and there's be likelihood of attempted attacks while ops occured.
Though it is a Marine's wet dream for sure to go smoke IRGC fighters.
Marines have made opposed landings in the face of the enemy before. And have endured extended periods under heavy bombardment. Like the first 4 months on Guadalcanal, the first few weeks of Iwo Jima, or the siege of Khe Sanh. Look up the bombardments of Henderson Field by Japanese battleships. There is nothing new here, just different names and tools. Even drones are simply the latest evolution in long range fires. Taking, and holding Kharg island is entirely doable.Are the Marines going to tie themselves to the pipes and oil tanks there? They will sleep in barracks and hang out in exposed trenches. If they stay in the facilities office or control rooms, those will be hit for sure.
The Iranians have missiles with an accuracy of 2m-5m, and the flight time from the mountains above and behind the shore to the Kharg island would be under a minute.
21st century war, new realities, requires new tactics.
