Following of the escalation of tensions between the US-led coalition and Iran plus the axis of resistance, the US Navy has deployed 3,000 marines in the Red Sea by the use of the USS Bataan (LHD 50) and USS Carter Hall (LSD 50).
The United States Fifth Fleet declared the deployment of 3,000 American marines and sailors to the West Asia region as part of a previously announced plan by the US Department of Defense to deploy the forces in strategic maritime areas of the region, including the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
The United States Navy has also entered the Red Sea through the Suez Canal after crossing the Mediterranean Sea with the USS Bataan aircraft carrier, which is capable of carrying more than 20 helicopters, plus the USS Carter Hall, which is a Harpers Ferry-class dock landing ship.
This move by the United States is aimed at creating tension and disrupting maritime security in the West Asia region.
Some analysts have seen the deployment of heavy US military equipment and weapons as preparation for military action against Iran and intervention in the Yemen war.
These claims are made as Saudi Arabia’s negotiations with the Ansar Allah movement were halted as a result of the United States’ intervention, and Ansar Allah publicly strengthened and equipped its naval force with new missiles and armed boats in response to military movements by the Saudi-led coalition in Bab al-Mandab and the deployment of American forces to the West Asia region.
The Islamic Republic of Iran also unveiled and operationalized Abu Mahdi cruise missiles and carried out a recent naval exercise by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), declaring its readiness to confront any scenario, including a naval war, and emphasized that Iran and other regional countries provide security for the Persian Gulf; so, there is no need for foreign boots in this region.
In general, regional developments are going ahead in such a path that there is a possibility of direct confrontation between the US-led coalition and the axis of resistance.
