Col. Douglas Macgregor, "Invading Iran: Another Gallipoli? The Kharg Island Gamble"

Col. Douglas Macgregor, 10/20/26
"Invading Iran: 
Another Gallipoli? The Kharg Island Gamble"
"What happens if U.S. troops land in Iran? A new Bloomberg report says some of Washington's Gulf Arab allies want President Trump to escalate, deploy ground forces and possibly seize Kharg Island, Iran's crucial oil export hub. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor warns that such an operation could turn into a modern Gallipoli: small, light forces on waterless islands, exposed to precision missiles and drones, with every evacuation flight at risk. Macgregor reacts live to Trump's new threat to destroy one Iranian bridge or power plant for every ship attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. He explains why Iran has no incentive to accept another ceasefire, how strikes on radars across Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain may be designed to blind regional early warning, and why he expects $150 oil within weeks. He also discusses reports of a hidden interceptor shortage, the danger of nuclear escalation, and the return of General Surovikin in Ukraine."
