“We have breaking news for you Carl, US special forces capture key Slikworm sites in Iran in surprise move! The Soviet Ambassador said “destruction of Iranian property was unwarranted and tantamount to an act of war”
The President turned to his team, and said “That will do Sandy, turn off the fake news. I want something big, really, really big. More bigger than opening the Straits. The 82nd is there. Send in the 101st Airborne parachute guys too. Lets take Iran. All of it”
“Mr President we, will end up in a world war?”
No..no we wont. It is going to be great. With the Straits open, the people love us, Oil prices will drop soon. We wont have war, Im sure of it. the Soviets will work a deal. They love deals.
Take the country, free the assets, and lets have a big, big win for every one.
Infantry and material pour into Iran, 11 MEU is dropped in port and immediately gets to work. Pressing into Nakhi-e Nakhoda, forcing light Soviet Airborne back.
82nd Airborne and Marine tank units report heavy dust storm trails that indicate significant vehicle traffic of a military nature.
1 Marine prepares to fight the soviets for the first time.
The remaining silkworm sites launch attacks at shipping with limited effect, but the harassing fire does not let oil prices descend.
Will the Rangers and supporting airborne and marines be enough to hold back a mechanized division of Soviet forces?
