The U.S. military is accelerating the deployment of Marine Corps units to the Middle East, involving multiple amphibious assault ships and forces, with plans to launch a major attack on Halek Island, followed by establishing a temporary military base there to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz and prevent Iranian raids. This could have significant implications for the regional security balance.

How will the AI’s aggressive plan to attack Harker Island affect regional security balance?

According to a report by Phoenix TV on March 23, several U.S. officials recently confirmed to the media that the U.S. military has accelerated the deployment of thousands of Marines and naval personnel to the Middle East. This deployment includes the amphibious assault ship group “Pugilist” and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, as well as the amphibious landing ships “Portland” and “Kinston,” carrying about 4,500 Marines and other personnel.

Additionally, the “Librador” amphibious assault group and approximately 2,500 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, which previously departed from Japan, are also rapidly heading toward the Middle East.

The British “The Sun” reported on the 22nd, citing informed sources, that the U.S. has developed a plan for a forceful attack on Harker Island. After the occupation, a small-scale force is planned to stay on the island to establish a temporary military base equipped with missiles and advanced radar and other weapons to secure the Strait of Hormuz and prevent ground attacks by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy.
