Several thousand Marines are heading to the Middle East as the White House weighs its \u201coptions\u201d in how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the Iran war, which has already cost the U.S. $23 billion and at least 13 lives with no end in sight.<\/p>\n

The buildup of military personnel in the Middle East is leading to more questions about possible ground troops or missions tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran closed to all U.S.-alled shipping traffic since just after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28 and started the war.<\/p>\n

This has been a source of major embarrassment to the Trump administration, which framed the war as one that would be easily won in the weeks leading up to launching its unprovoked air and missile strikes.<\/p>\n

But three weeks later, the regime in Iran is still intact and launching missiles and drones at Israel, at U.S. airbases in the Gulf, and at oil tankers from countries allied with the U.S. that are now unable to traverse the key waterway known as the Strait of Hormuz. It is through this waterway that 20 percent of the world\u2019s oil travels daily, so for every day Iran can keep it closed, it has a chokehold on the global economy. A global depression is incoming if Trump can\u2019t get the Strait back open.<\/p>\n

Trump even hinted he could use a nuclear weapon against Iran, stating Thursday he could end the war in \u201ctwo seconds\u201d if he wanted to. But he\u2019s more likely to try a risky ground assault on Iranian territory.<\/p>\n

About 2,500 Marines are deploying to the region along with additional warships capable of transporting many more troops as the conflict is about to enter its fourth week.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu weighs in<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated point blank on Thursday that a \u201cground component\u201d will definitely be needed to complete the \u201crevolution\u201d in Iran that the US and Israel hoped to trigger with their air and missile strikes.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu admitted what this writer and others have been saying since before the war even started, that you cannot do a regime change operation with air power alone. Ground troops will be needed. This is clear from history, and yet President Trump seems to have thought he could pull off such a daunting task as if with a magic wand.<\/p>\n

President Trump explicitly said on multiple occasions that he was not going to deploy ground troops. He said it most recently on Thursday, the same day that Netanyahu said such a deployment would be necessary.<\/p>\n

So it looks like we will find out who really calls the shots in terms of committing U.S. troops to fight and die on foreign soil. Will it be the President of the United States Donald Trump, who says no U.S. troops needed, or will it be Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a foreign country who says troops (from somewhere) will definitely be needed to achieve his regime-change goals in Iran?<\/p>\n

We must point out that Netanyahu did not say it would necessarily be American troops who get sent to fight in Iran, but we have to ask, if these troops aren\u2019t from America, where will they come from? It\u2019s highly unlikely they would come from Israel as that country\u2019s army is not big enough to fight Iran and already has its hands full fighting Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n

In the 10-minute video below, retired Lt. Col. Daniel Davis delves into these extremely important questions that none of the controlled media are asking about.<\/p>\n
