Pentagon prepares to send another 3,000 troops to Middle East​

The decision to move the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the region heightens the possibility U.S. troops will enter Iran.

The Pentagon is preparing to deploy about 3,000 troops from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, adding to the thousands of Marines already headed to the region to assist with operations in Iran.

No decisions have been made for troops to enter the country, according to two defense officials, who confirmed the planned deployment. But the buildup of troops is a drastic escalation in the U.S.-Israel war against the Iranian regime and heightens the possibility that American servicemembers will go into Iran.

The 82nd has a quick reaction force that can deploy around the world within 18 hours, but it is not clear if that division will head to the region.

The troop increase comes a month into U.S. military airstrikes against Iranian military forces and infrastructure, and amid spiraling gas prices as Iranian officials block access to the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil passes.

U.S. Central Command, which oversees the effort, said Tuesday that U.S. aircraft and missile attacks have “destroyed more than 9,000 military targets” inside Iran since the attacks started on Feb. 28. Military officials have said the strikes targeted Iran’s missile launchers, navy and its defense industrial base. Strikes have also killed dozens of the regime’s leadership.

The U.S. already has 50,000 troops in the region. The increase suggests the potential for more involvement, such as taking control of the strait by force. The defense officials who confirmed the deployment were granted anonymity to discuss internal planning.

The New York Times first reported that the Pentagon was considering deploying the 82nd Airborne Division.

Iran continued its drone and ballistic missile attacks on Israel and other countries in the region on Tuesday, a day after President Donald Trump announced he was pushing back threatened attacks on Iranian power plants due to “productive talks” toward a peace deal. Tehran has denied any direct talks.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday reported an increasing downturn in public support for the war, with 35 percent of Americans approving of the U.S. strikes. The poll last week found 37 percent of Americans supported it. Overall, 61 percent of respondents disapproved of the strikes, compared to 59 percent a week ago.

Iran has told mediators it has been misled twice by US President Donald Trump during previous diplomatic efforts and does not want to be “fooled again," according to Axios, as Washington pushes for in-person talks as soon as Thursday in Islamabad, even while continuing military pressure.

The report highlights Tehran’s deep distrust of US intentions, citing past instances where negotiations coincided with surprise attacks.

Isn't it strange that the Iranian Army hasn't yet issued a call for military mobilization, and that Iranian men can now travel abroad so easily? Am I the only one who thinks this is contradictory given the current state of war they are in?

The Turkish borders are open. An Iranian friend has just arrived in Türkiye from Tahran by bus.
for what, since the beginning, If US knew they will win the war, the would put booths on the ground, just like desert strom back than. against iran, they think they can do the same thing like they did in iraq/isis crisis or syiria, but hell no, iranian preparing this war for over 40 years, and the US keep doing same mistake, but today double because the potus realy damn idiot.

Iran started proxy war against Israel in 1979.
Iran started direct war against Israel in 2024.

We don't want anything from Iran, we don't need their territory (like Russia wants from Ukraine). We just want them to leave us alone.

Iran's economy is crumbling, since the beginning of this year the value of Iranian rial collapsed 30 times, they have catastrophic situation with water, constant electricity cuts. Yet they invest tens of billions in ballistic missiles, nuclear program and foreign terrorism.

And when Iranian people protest against poor economy they simply slaughter them.

Iranian-backed groups in Iraq carried out their first FPV drone strike on US military equipment at the Victory Air Base in Baghdad. It's worth noting that the military equipment and personnel were removed from the base. The FPV drones also struck a US AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar and a UH-60 helicopter.

They prepared poorly for war, very poorly. It would have been better for the Tehran ayatollahs, for Iran, and for the entire region if they hadn't prepared for war at all. At least they would have survived and wouldn't have exposed their country to American airstrikes.

How did they prepare? Where is Iran's combat aviation? Where is the navy? Where is the air defense? Where is Iranian intelligence?

Khamenei put his long-bearded ayatollahs, Hojjatollahs, and mullahs at the head of all these military organizations, and decided that Iran now had a real army...
Read the biographies of these ayatollahs—look: he studied at Qom Theological University, scrupulously performed namaz and all sorts of sacred rituals three times a day his entire life, visited all the holy places, diligently hit himself on the head with a chain during Ashura, and so on.
So what?
You don't understand: what does military service have to do with this? What does the army have to do with this? What can even the most enlightened theologians have to do with the army and war? Especially when it comes to modern, technologically advanced warfare.🙄

"Iran has been preparing for war for 40 years."
Excuse me, what are you talking about?🙄

To justify their annihilation of iran the western world will sell the iranians as being strong. Because the common people don't like the idea of killing the weak.

Saddam had the worlds 4th largest army for example. Its their modus operandi.

Once the war is won it will then be sold as a grand failure. So that the process doesnt look intentional or evil, but a crazy mistake like all greater middle east wars.

Israel makes 285 sorties a day (each carrying 2 munitions) and attacks 425 targets a day (military and dual use plants) a day.

Iran fires at Israel 16 ballistic missiles a day. But they have poor accuracy (200-300 m) and 95% of them are intercepted. As result they only managed to kill 15 civilians in Israel and damage to Israeli military and industries is zero.

A combat mission involving US Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft in Iraq. The A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed in 1972 and, like the Russian Su-25, is considered one of the best in the world. In the video, an A-10 attack aircraft fires a 30mm GAU-8 cannon at Iranian military positions in Iraq. Iraqi militia groups are shelling US bases.

Thais what I mean multiple times. Iran has to Nuke Israel first. After that, all problem are solved.

Problem with persians is if they get the nuke they sooner nuke Turkiye and Pakistan then Isreal. Remember these guys been making threats for the last 50 years and in that time they spent nearly all of it killing Muslims.

While slaughtering Muslims they profited immensely off the Palestinian situation in which they also had a hand in directly running off a cliff edge. What's actually important watching all this is that Turkiye gets nukes.

Its been close to a month of war and i think the iranians have only been able to shoot down 2 fighter jets. And its not like the americans have been flying in one plane a day, they have been conducting endless sorties daily over iran.

Iranians basically have bad, worse or terrible as the options moving forward. Even if they survive this round, the Isrealis will quickly start up another round of attacking iran. They will hope to keep iran in a state in which they believe they will keep syria in. After Iran they will focus on Turkiye.

The only real way out of this for the iranians is work with Turkiye. If she continues to treat Turkiye as enemy, she will 100% be destroyed and balkanised by the anglo-american zionist axis.

Ayatollahs are too stupid to do anything but killing their own. Even in the 12 day war last year they got completely *ucked even Flightradar would have been a better early warning system than anything they have. Plus basically isolated with no allies or partners turkish foreign policy is at least working.

Watching them over the decades they've proven time and time again to be absolute strategic donkeys.
