The US sends 2,500 marines and an amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli to the Middle East. The Pentagon is seeking to expand its operations against Iran.
USS Tripoli and marines have already left Japan
Some US troops and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli have already left Japan for the Middle East. This was reported by sources The Wall Street Journal.
In addition to the USS Tripoli, other ships and aircraft, including F-35 fighters, are to arrive in the region. In total, 2,500 US Marines will be deployed to the Middle East.
The purpose of the redeployment of forces is to expand capabilities against Iran
According to sources, the Pentagon is thus trying to expand the capabilities of military operations against Iran. Experts point out that this is a significant build-up of forces in the region.
However, according to experts, this does not necessarily mean preparations for a ground operation in Iran. Units and equipment will be sent to strengthen the US military presence in the Middle East.
