I think its a fake out and they will really invade the south closer to the Pakistan border.

Yeah, I agree, at least if they want to attempt a 'sane' plan.

'Baluchistan'.

There's a semi-significant port / naval base at ... Konarak? Konark?

That would make much more sense, or somewhere near it, for an MEU or two to try and establish as a beachhead.

The US's NeoCon/CIA playbook has long been to try to induce Iran to shatter apart, balkanize:

Apparently Richard Perle presented this or something like this map to Netanyahu, decades ago now.

Konarak (sp?) is maybe ~150 miles / ~250 km west of where Gwadar is, on the NeoCon map.

That would take strategic planning, steps to follow, etc. That's not how MAGA works. They don't think past the initial bombing attack, because blowing shit up is wicked cool, and enough reason to have a war.

"We blowed them up so good, they won't be able to retaliate! Wait, why are there missiles coming back at us? They are shooting at US? But we obliterated them! Somebody help us! Why won't anybody help us?!"
