15. Kharg Island is at the northern end of the Persian Gulf.

And Amphib Group would have to pass the Strait and travel 300 miles through restricted waters to land on Kharg. Iran would throw everything they had at the ARG.

5k Marines is not enough to hold the coast around the Strait. AT best they could allow some traffic through for a few days, but would need massive reinforcement to keep control of the Strait

ETA> this administration might not care about those factors and do such attacks anyway. It wouldn't be the first time Marines were put in position to be sacrifices.
