๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ทโก๏ธ- According to CNN, Iran has been laying traps and moving additional military personnel and air defenses to Kharg Island in recent weeks in preparation for a possible US operation to take control of the island.
The concern is that occupying Kharg island with US troops would result in high casualties, likely triggering Iranian retaliation against Gulf countriesโ infrastructure and prolonging the conflict, the senior Gulf official said.
โIranians are clever and ruthless. They will do everything they can to inflict maximum casualties on US forces both on the ships at sea, and especially once ground troops are anywhere in their sovereign territory.โ - Retired Adm. James Stavridis.

๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บโก๏ธ- One of Russiaโs new Project 23550 combat icebreakers has been heavily damaged by Ukrainian drones while still under construction at the Vyborg shipyard in St. Petersburg. Notably, that facility sits close to where Finnish shipbuilders are set to begin work on US icebreakers.
Shipyard security needs to be taken much more seriously, not just in Finland but also in Japan and Korea, where the vast majority of allied shipbuilding capacity is concentrated and sits well within range of Chinese missiles and drones.
