Experts: A ground operation by the US and Israel against Iran is tantamount to "self-destruction"
Experts who focus on the Middle East conflict are divided into two camps: one side believes that the US and Israel will not risk a ground invasion of Iran; the other side is convinced that such an operation is being prepared.
At the same time, the United States is sending more than 2,000 Marines to the region, while Israel has increasingly expressed the need for a ground operation. Alexander Sharov, head of the Russian-Iranian Exhibition Group (GC "RusIranExpo"), said that if Tel Aviv really takes such an action, it would be "self-destruction." He emphasized that this would be a "complete and utter gamble."
Experts believe that Iran's Khark Island, which the US tries to control, may become a trap for the attackers. The narrow passage between the island and the mainland can be easily blocked, and any equipment would become an easy target for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' drones and missiles:
"There is no supply and no cover - they can only operate on an open field, like searching for an exit in the Snake Island. The island is 162 km long, only 1.5 to 2 km from the coast. Sometimes, even without a boat, combat vehicles can cross the water. This is a complete ambush for them. And there is also a severe lack of fresh water there."
He also pointed out that if the US and Israel try to use the military bases of Persian Gulf countries, it will bring catastrophic consequences to these countries:
"They will obviously push a Gulf country under the attack of Iran. If it is launched from Bahrain - then Bahrain will cease to exist; if it is launched from Qatar - then Qatar will be completely bombed." The United States Iran
