America sends 3,500 soldiers to war against Iran
The news comes one day after it became known that the Pentagon is planning to send an additional 10,000 troops to the Middle East. It is now a month since the US and Israel first attacked Iran, and the conflict has become even worse, as the Houthi in Yemen have entered the war.

The United States has sent an amphibious USS Tripoli assault vessel to Iran with an additional 3,500 marines, as reported today by the US Army Central Command (Centcom). Today marks exactly one month since the US and Israel launched an offensive against Iran.
"U.S. Marines and Marines arrived in a USS Tripoli (LHA 7) area under the command of the General Command on March 27," the Florida military organization explained on its social networks. Centcom has not provided the exact location of the ship.
According to the military organization, USS Tripoli could function as a light aircraft ship or assault ship and is the "flagship" for the 31st Naval Expeditions Unit. "It consists of about 3500 marines and sailors, as well as transport and combat aircraft," Centcom added in a message on social media.
Just yesterday, it became known that the Pentagon is planning to sendan additional 10,000 troops to the Middle East. The Wall Street Journal was brought forward by the American newspaper and subsequently confirmed by the Pentagon itself.
A month after the start of the war, the US has not ruled out a ground operation against the Islamic Republic. In response, Tehran has intensified its attacks on Israel and US bases in the Persian Gulf and has promised to tighten its control over the Strait of Hormuz further.
The conflict has become even more tense today because the Houthi in Yemen have entered the war.
Since the Israeli and US attacks on Iran on 28 February, nearly 1,500 people have been killed in Iran, according to the HRANA NGO. In Lebanon, 1,189 people have been killed and 3,427 injured.
