Only hit military targets on the island and left all the oil infrastructure on and leading to the Island (e.g. tanks, pump houses, piping, pipelines to mainland well locations, etc). Threatened that the oil infrastructure is at risk if Iran shuts down the straight thus blocking ship traffic.
That's a wise decision at least
I do wonder what the administration expected to happen by now. Did they expect the mullahs to flee to China or moscow? Did they expect a popular uprising by now? Two weeks is no time to panic but I am curious what they expected to happen at this point in time.

they already shut down the straight to allied nations . they are allowing the ships to friendly countries pass through . At least until the Marines sieze all the islands in the straight . I will also assume the possibility that the Marines will take some small ports on the main land with the intention to bring the Iranian army to battle. Once an air umbrella is established , The Iranians may just as well shoot themselves in the head to avoid the long ride . Then again they do like Russia did in WW2 and pull back into the interior stretching thier suppy lines and air support
The only unknown variable is the number of drones Iran can bring to bear or if or when they can construct a crude nuke or already have them or the precursors to make them .

I think the CIA backed revolution failed . I never did buy that it was real . its been tried many times in past there and it never worked. plan B was the Kurds. And that fell through. Plan C is just get that goddamn straight open before Europe collapses . I honestly think they believed iran would sue for peace once the damage was done.
But how can Iran negotiate with a country that attacked them during negotiations twice? WTF? How do you trust that? thats like your wife cheating on you twice and then promises they wont do it again, and they do then say I swear. it wont happen again . Come on.
The US lost credibility . dont know WTF Trump was thinking other than he is owned

President Trump Announces Strategic Obliteration of Iranian Military Assets on Kharg Island
The oil processing facilities at Kharg Island are a foundational component of Iran’s economy. Roughly 90 percent of Iran’s crude is processed at Kharg Island, and any disruption to its oil processing could cripple Iran’s economy.https://theconservativetreehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/kharg-island-v2.jpg
President Trump announced: “Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.”

We've effectively cut off a big % of Chinas oil supply between our moves in Venezuela and Iran. How long before they decide to defend that supply with military actions in both theatres?

Actually, Iran was allowing friendly countries to ship through the gulf . And you can bet the farm that Russia and China and N korea are sending military aid to Iran . Although I heard Iran was pretty pissed off that Chinese air defense weapons were useless.
you know if there is sticker that says made in China, its junk .
Acme do it yourself guided ,ground to air interceptor missile:
China's problem is they don't have much ability to project naval power across the world. They don't have the type of navy that can convoy their oil shipments to and from Iran.
An imperfect plan implemented quickly is generally superior to a perfect plan that is never executed, a philosophy often summarized by General George S. Patton's maxim: "A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week". This approach prioritizes immediate action and momentum over paralyzing perfectionism, allowing for adjustments through real-world feedback.That escalated quickly.
Trump says US ‘obliterated’ targets in strike on key Iranian oil hub
Trump said the U.S. bombed Iran’s Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub, and warned against interference in the Strait of Hormuz.www.foxnews.com
America should assure China gets oil, while leveraging the situation to the maximum effect, beneficial to the USA.
Being "friends" with any country, including China, is often better in the long run.

A prudent decision from a country that began a major war due to lack of oil 84 years ago.
It's smart to make China dependent on Oil, that the USA can keep flowing.
