Trump sends military to open Strait of Hormuz by force
President deploys marine unit that could put boots on the ground to secure key route for oil

Donald Trump is sending US marines to the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as concerns grow that rising oil prices could cause a global recession.

The president ordered a warship carrying an expeditionary unit that could lead to boots on the ground in Iran.

Mr Trump pledged that US forces would hit the Iranian regime “very hard” over the next week and added that the war with Tehran would end “when I feel it in my bones”.

More tankers came under fire from Iranian forces on Friday after the new supreme leader pledged to keep the strait closed until attacks on Iran stopped.

Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, insisted to reporters that they “don’t need to worry about” the strait. It was “something we are dealing with”, he said.

US officials confirmed on Friday that the USS Tripoli had already departed from Okinawa, Japan, with 5,000 sailors and a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.

The expeditionary unit is capable of carrying out special air and surface operations and has landing force capabilities, but is unlikely to arrive for another two weeks.

Donald Trump is deploying 5,000 US marines to the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Pete Hegseth, US defence secretary, has approved a request from US Central Command – which oversees American military operations in the region – to deploy part of a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the USS Tripoli, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The USS Tripoli was seen in the Bashi Channel, between Taiwan and the Philippines, on its way to the Middle East on Friday night.

Iran said it was closing the strait shortly after the United States and Israel began their attacks on February 28. Iranian strikes have since hit multiple vessels in the area including oil tankers.

Yesterday US officials reported that Iran had begun laying mines in the Gulf channel, which carries 20 per cent of the world’s oil.

The USS Tripoli was stationed out of Japan and would take around two weeks to reach the Mideast.

Trump is too egotistical. After all the sweet mouth of finishing Iranian navy and their capabilities, why do you still need 5k troops for that small strait?

To be a soldier is not easy o, no wonder Fela called them zombie.

5 000 troops.....Dem go enter Iran soon and turn it to Afghnistan and Iraq....seriously dem don dey arm rebels...lol. see eh...rebels don tell dem to come fight first...no be the thing dey happen small small like this? Trump go use this particular issue as an excuse for the senate to allow him enter Iran. Cos na the senate dey hold his hands. If dem allow that orange fatty bom bom do his mind, he go don level the whole of Tehran by now. All the noises from Tehran and their Nigerian supporters would have turned to parades of cries in the street carrying placards to show mass death. A just dey pity these people. See eh...na them go give Trump the power to go and crush them mercilessly in that nation.

The iranian regime already already admitted that kharg island is not defended as it stands now.. America saw to it that they wiped out all defense there...taking The island would be a stroll in the park for the marines...

Re: US Deploys 5,000 Troops To Re-open Strait Of Hormuz by Basicend:
US must change their approach b4 fighting another serious war. Conventional war pattern has changed.

They must quickly focus on producing mass cheap war weapons. Like cheap drones and interceptors, more advanced laser detectors, more ICBM and hypersonic missiles.

The Chinese, Iranian, Russians etc have built many cheaper and effective weapons.

If this war stretches to 3 more weeks or more, they will be waisting more than $3 trillion to sustain it.

Their 3 aircraft carriers in the sea can be destroyed in this war if care is not taken. They are just lucky that swarm drones and very fast Chinese anti-ship missiles have not yet been launched at them.

Once strategic aim has been achieved, Trump needs to pull out of the war otherwise things will become more uncontrollable.

At least, more than 2,000 of the troops will not return to base alive, while those who will manage to get back will suffer severe PTSD. If you think I'm not saying the truth, ask after some of the servicemen George Bush sent to Iraq and Afghanistan 25 years ago.
