US eyes ground Ops in Kharg Island: West Asia war heading towards dangerous phase?

Iran has threatened to blockade the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a critical maritime chokepoint for global trade, if the US initiates ground operations on Kharg Island. This potential blockade follows Iran's prior restriction of the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions over key shipping lanes. The Bab al-Mandeb Strait handles approximately 12% of seaborne oil and a significant portion of container traffic en route to the Suez Canal. The threat comes as Iran fortifies Kharg Island with personnel, missiles, and mines to deter a potential amphibious assault. Concurrently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that a strike in Bandar Abbas killed Commodore Ali Reza Tansiri, the naval commander for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). So, is the West Asia war heading towards a dangerous phase? Is US preparing to put boots on the ground either at Kharg Island or to open the Strait of Hormuz? Watch as experts share their views on these and more on the show.
