US media: US troops may seize islands to force Iran to open the Strait of HormuzChina News Network2026-03-20 08:30China News Service, March 20. According to the Wall Street Journal on the 19th local time, citing sources, the United States is sending additional troops to the Middle East and may seize Iran's key oil export hub to force Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.Reports say the Pentagon has deployed the US 31st Marine Expeditionary Force, a rapid response force of about 2,200 people, to the Middle East.The report mentioned that U.S. officials said that the United States may use this force to seize one or more islands near Iran's southern coast.US media analysis said that the island with the highest economic value among these islands is Halk Island. The island is located at the northern end of the Persian Gulf and is Iran's main oil export hub.According to experts and former U.S. officials, U.S. Marines do not need to destroy the oil facilities on Khalk Island and can directly occupy the island as a bargaining chip for U.S. pressure to force Iran to reopen the strait.The report also said that the force sailed from Japan to the Middle East by ship and was expected to arrive in about a week.https://www.military.com/daily-news/headlines/2026/03/20/us-send-another-2500-marines-ground-option-emerges-iran-war.htmlTLDR: THEY ARE GOING TO GO FULL RETARD IN 1 WEEK
