Our @simchabrodsky joined Newsmax’s Shannon Cake to discuss the next phase of U.S. pressure on Iran.

Past U.S. strikes have focused on military infrastructure..radar, comms, and air defense systems.

Trump’s threat to seize Kharg Island will change that.

Kharg handles ~90% of Iran’s oil exports. If the U.S. takes control of it, the IRGC loses its biggest financial lifeline.

Sources inside Iran tell OSINT613 that the biggest obstacle facing anti regime activists right now is communication.

Starlink remains largely inaccessible. VPN costs have surged. Open internet access is becoming more unaffordable as Iran’s economy continues to deteriorate.

The U.S. is accelerating a fresh military deployment to the Middle East, sending about 4,000 service members, including 2,500 Marines, from the West Coast.

According to 4 officials speaking to Newsmax, the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are deploying ahead of schedule, moving through the Indo Pacific toward the region as the Pentagon surges additional firepower amid the Iran war.

The group includes USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship that functions like a mini aircraft carrier, along with USS Portland and USS Comstock, both amphibious landing ships.

This marks a new, separate deployment from earlier movements, reinforcing U.S. forces with amphibious assault and rapid response capabilities.
