Thousands Of Additional U.S. Troops To Be Deployed Near Iran

Over 10,000 more United States troops will reach the Middle East this month, The Washington Post reported on July 15, citing American officials.

There are 6,000 soldiers aboard the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier and its strike group, which is sailing around Africa on its way to the region. Another 4,200 troops are in the aircraft-carrying USS Boxer amphibious assault ship and its group, which is scheduled to reach the region at the end of April.

The Boxer group includes more than 800 marines, along with a number of helicopters and landing craft, according to the report.

When the USS George H.W. Bush arrives, it will join two other carrier groups — the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald Ford — in the region, both of which participated in the fighting against Iran.

Two American officials told the outlet that planning continues for a range of ground operations in Iran, including landing special forces to take the Islamic Republic’s highly enriched uranium, and landings on islands and the coast around the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s two-week ceasefire with Iran ends within seven days, and while there are efforts to extend it, the Trump administration is yet to agree.

“There is continued engagement between the U.S. and Iran to reach a deal,” a senior American official tells Reuters.

The deployment of troops is not the only escalatory step taken by the Trump administration since the start of the ceasefire. Following a failed round of talks in Pakistan, the U.S. initiated a blockade on Iranian ports, justifying it as a response to the Islamic Republic’s measures on the Strait of Hormuz.

The recent developments mirror the situation before the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran, where the U.S. engaged in talks with the Islamic Republic all while preparing to attack.

Despite recent all the reports claiming progress in the diplomatic efforts, the Trump administration could end up resuming the war on Iran with ground operations.

i’m curious… what do you prefer as a zionist – to blow kids up, or torture them in a zionist ritual sacrifice? serious question. i want to try to get into the mind of and comprehend how sick people think.

Itsthejews

the only penetration you need is a iranian missile on your hasbara 8200 office or an army knife in the chest. you demons need to be erased from this planet for good. enough women and children have been m urdered by your demonic kind. its time we dismantle your zionist colonial project for good and liberate all of palestine.

misnomers by usil: racketeering theft and extortion are *not* a “deal”. not surprised by the incurable epsteinites relentless malevolence. how many children are the psychos going to mass murder with insanely expensive technology this time?

given the last effort from the usadmin went so well, i cannot wait for the next fiasco. where are these troops to land? not in iran, not in such large numbers anyway. their transport ships will be sitting targets as soon as they get in range of iranian missiles. still, inevitable and abject failure has never been a problem before for usadmins.

Bob

do you mean venezuala ?

Peter Jennings

you mean the venezuela where the people gave up their president and all us forces had to do was walk in and take him? but there again, there are so many us fiasco’s to choose from. what’s for sure, the usadmin won’t be parking its carriers off the coast of iran like they did in venezuela.

autopl

all these 10+ thousand american hero troops will totally engulf and disarm iran’s mere 90 000 000 combatants.. because if you defend your own country, everybody walking becomes a soldier!

Kill Every Single Fucking Jew

sf lying as usual with their tragic readership of two teollopes with their transparent moderation and their communist values

Thraxite

wrong equipment for the wrong age. we’re in the information age now, these industrial age relics don’t work anymore. how do they land? how do they approach, any anti tank weapon has a range to sink those landers 100s of meters off shore. that is after bastion missiles and 1000s upon 1000s of iranian short range missiles. the us haven’t changed their tactics in 50 years and the iranians know the tactics, they know (aging) equipment to be used and they know the leader has no plan.

Itsthejews

and this is why more people need to be aware of what and who they are fighting for in the west. israel will continue to make wars until the last american. your fighting for zionist inbred psychopathic b aby ki llers and colonialists.
american soldiers are fighting wars for epstein and trump c mowlestors
its not our war and its time to openly defy trump and all the chabad lubovich kikes behind him and block his war efforts.

be heros like the soldiers who clogged the toilets on the lincoln aircraft carrier it atleast delayed the war.

scuttle the ships if you have to make the zionists loose their own wars and refuse to fight it for them. its time ww remove the jewish parasite from our governments and institutions make peace and have control over our own foreign policy again instead of serving the zionist jewish parasite state of israel.
