Flash: ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ Signs that Trump is preparing to send ground troops to Iran
According to Axios, the Makin Island Amphibious Readiness Group and the 13th Marine Unit have left Naval Base San Diego for the Middle East
The ARG consists of an amphibious assault ship, the USS Makin Island, and two amphibious transport docks, the USS Anchorage and the USS John P. Murtha.
They will bring about a dozen F-35B Lightning II fighter jets and about 2,200 US Marines, as well as infantry vehicles and armored personnel carriers.
It's a naval landing force.
There are enough marines, transport helicopters and amphibious vehicles there to create a beachhead.
A very problematic sign, perhaps indicating that Trump wants to initiate a naval landing in Iran.
