5th SF Qeshm A

🚨 NEW OPERATION: HORMUZ KEY  🚨
📍 Qeshm Island, Strait of Hormuz, September 2026

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC Navy has turned Qeshm Island into the fortress that keeps it shut: anti-ship missiles in hardened tunnels, coastal radar, fast-attack boat pens, drone launch sites and mine stockpiles.

🇺🇸 US FORCES: Launch from the USS Gerald R. Ford. Find and destroy the IRGC sites, take out the 112th Brigade commander, and push STRAIT OPEN to 80%.
🇮🇷 IRGC: Defend the island. Keep the Strait closed until time runs out.

⚠️ Every match is different. Target locations are randomised, and missile batteries relocate if you leave them alone.
⚠️ Rules of engagement: civilian casualties and a destroyed desalination plant cost the mission points.

🛩️ A-10s, Little Birds, Hueys and C-130s on the deck
👥 Up to 128 players, US vs IRGC
🗺️ Custom 21 km Qeshm terrain

Mission: 5th SF – Operation Hormuz Key (Qeshm)
