Guerre au Moyen-Orient : l’armée américaine va déployer des troupes et des navires supplémentaires
According to the New York Times, some 2,500 Marines and three more ships have headed to the region.
The U.S. military will deploy additional Marine Corps troops and ships to the Middle East, U.S. media reported Friday, as the two-week war against Iran approaches. According to The New York Times, some 2,500 Marines and three more ships have set out for the region. The Wall Street Journal quoted U.S. officials as saying that the USS Tripoli, an assault ship based in Japan, and its accompanying Marines are heading to the Middle East. CNN reported that a Marine expeditionary force—typically numbering around 2,500 troops—has been deployed.
The Wall Street Journal specifies that the request for Marine reinforcements was made by the US Central Command, in charge of American troops in the Middle East, and approved by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth.
Marines were already in the region to support operations against Iran, the newspaper notes. The United States and Israel launched a massive air campaign against Iran on February 28, and Tehran retaliated with waves of drones and missiles, as well as attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's crude oil trade passes.
