United States Prepares for Ground Invasion of
#IranThe United States is working to accelerate the deployment of nearly 8,000 additional Marines and sailors to the Middle East region.In a demonstration of deployment speed, the "USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group" arrives in the area ahead of schedule, carrying aboard it approximately 4,000 Marines and sailors.These forces will join the "USS Tripoli group," which is already en route from Japan with 5,000 personnel on board.This combined force, consisting of six amphibious ships, will bolster the regional military presence by approximately 8,000 additional personnel.There would be no point in deploying Marines to the region unless the United States intends to launch a large-scale ground invasion of Iran.Their likely objective is to secure the Strait of Hormuz and take control of Kharg Island.The conflict is expected to see a sharp escalation in the coming weeks.
