Is Donald Trump marching into a trap? As the US-Iran war reignites over the struggle to control the Strait of Hormuz, leaked reports suggest Washington is again considering an amphibious ground offensive to seize Kharg Island - Iran’s primary oil export hub - or some other coastal territory. In part two of today’s episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks to former US Marine Colonel Andy Milburn about why that would be a terrible idea. Andy breaks down why an amphibious landing along the Iranian coastline is a tactical dead-end, how Tehran’s decentralized "Mosaic Doctrine" is designed to survive Western airstrikes, and why the US Navy is structurally unprepared to clear heavily mined shipping lanes. #Iran #US #Trump #IranWar CONTRIBUTORS: Roland Oliphant, co-host and chief foreign affairs analyst @RolandOliphant Andy Milburn, former US Marine colonel @andymilburn8 WATCH PART ONE ON TRUMP EXPANDING US STRIKES TO NORTHERN IRAN: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVAif-vifC6F2aoPB8GIw6dk CONTENT REFERENCED: Andy Milburn: Outgunned, But Not Outplayed: Iran’s Theory of Victory https://warontherocks.com/outgunned-but-not-outplayed-irans-theory-of-victory/ ITL Best News and Analysis Podcast - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026 The Telegraph Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026 - Publisher Podcast Awards 2026 ITL Nominated Podcast of the Year - Society of Editors News Podcasts Awards 2026 Video Producer: Max Bower Researcher and Social Producer: Anna Hindmarsh Studio Operator: Andy Watson Executive Producer: Venetia Rainey ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
