Iran: U.S. Adding More Forces to Middle East, Operation Will Take Time
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine warned that the U.S. could face more military losses.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine confirmed that the U.S. will redirect more military forces to the Middle East as the operation against Iran continues.
“This deployment included thousands of service members from all branches, hundreds of advanced fourth and fifth-generation fighters, dozens of refueling tankers, the Lincoln and Ford carrier strike group and their embarked air wings, sustained flow of munitions, fuel supplies, all supported with command and control intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance network,” explained Caine.
The U.S. continues to add forces.
“And the flow of forces continues today,” continued Caine. “In fact, [Central Command Chief] Admiral [Brad] Cooper will receive additional forces, even today.”

Caine emphasized that the operation will take time, without giving a timeframe when it should end:
First, to be clear, as the Secretary [Hegseth] said, this is not a single overnight operation. The military objectives that CENTCOM and the Joint Force have been tasked with will take some time to achieve, and in some cases, will be difficult and gritty work. We expect to take additional losses, and as always, we will work to minimize those losses. But, as the Secretary said, this is major combat operations.
America has already lost four service members during Iran’s initial counterattack.

Caine said the operation included all of the armed forces, attacking every part of Iran’s system:
On February 28, the full strength of America’s armed forces came together in a unified purpose against a capable and determined adversary. The United States, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and our reserve components integrated across our combatant commands and began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an unprecedented scale.
As the Secretary laid out, our military objectives are clear. Our mission is to protect and defend ourselves, and together with our regional partners, prevent Iran from the ability to project power outside of its borders, and be ready for follow on actions as appropriate.
Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, the US Joint Force, delivered synchronized and layered effects designed to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran’s ability to conduct and sustain combat operations on the US side.
This marked the culmination of months, and in some cases, years, of deliberate planning and refinement against this particular target set, from precision strikes against key military infrastructure to persistent intelligence and targeting integration to the close coordination of the components across vast distances.
This operation again demonstrated America’s reach, readiness, and professionalism, and that of our joint united forces. It was historic, not only in the operational scope, but in the level of joint integration displayed across every element of the joint forces.

With so much to accomplish here at home………. Why now?
Probably, because unlike the previous “administration”, this crew can walk and chew gum at the same time.
The opportunity presented itself with the SR Iranian leaders gathered together for a decapitation strike in backdrop of the regime refusing to stop their quest for nukes, building out their middle deliver capacity, fielding more combat capable drones and continuing their nearly 50 years as the primary exporter of terrorism.
Obliterating the Iranian regime, destroying their capacity for mischief and potentially setting the conditions for a popular uprising taking control from the Mullahs totally resets the board in the mid east. Ultimately it would mean less US forces and less US focus needed in the region allowing those resources to be used in our own hemisphere to reestablish unquestioned US Hegemony in our own hemisphere.
What exactly does the military need to accomplish at home? That’s who is involved in this primarily with some amount of Trump and his cabinet’s bandwidth.
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks
Ain’t no antisemitic remarks up in here, Cigarette.
Ever wish you had bought some Bitcoin back in 2009?
Yeah, that’s why.
Once you miss an opportunity, it’s gone.
