Might I suggest a solution that conceivably might not cost one life. Convey a simple message to Iran. Shut down Kharg Island within 24 hours…or we will do it for you.

I am not so naive as to believe that they would shut it down for sure, but they might. If so, it just might rapidly bring the conflict to a quick end. It’s worth the effort. Furthermore, if they didn’t shut it down, I suspect we could easily interrupt the electric supply to the island. If nothing else, a total embargo would affect the same thing.

It would have a maximum effect with a minimum loss of life.
