Well, they've been planning an invasion of Iran since at least the late 90s/early 00s... Hopefully hubris and stupidity will be the undoing of the American military and Iran will help the world deal with this cancer. 🙏

If they invade, what would be the immediate objective? To secure the oil production and export?

Watch it be Kharg island. They'll claim an immediate victory because of it's importance to the oil industry. But it'll do nothing to secure the strait and will just paint a target on the expeditionary force there to take potshots from drones.

Hope I'm wrong.

Seems unlikely, when US croaks, its vassal states follow, without question.

I hope it doesn't, but it only seems like it's going to get messy.
