The US military's ground combat plan for several weeks has been exposed, and they plan to replicate the myth of "42 days to destroy Iraq"
According to a report by Golden Finance, on March 29th, news of the US military's preparations for ground operations in Iran exploded globally. Unlike the full-scale invasion of the Iraq War in 2003, the Pentagon has resorted to the "sharp knife decapitation" tactic - not occupying territory, not engaging in a protracted war, and directly targeting Iran's oil lifeline, Hark Island, in an attempt to replicate the glory of the 1991 Gulf War with a "quick victory in a matter of weeks". The Washington Post reported on the 28th that the Pentagon is preparing for a limited ground operation lasting several weeks, rather than a full-scale occupation invasion. Currently, thousands of Marines and paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division have entered the Middle East, with approximately 3500 members from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Force aboard the amphibious assault ship "Tripoli" and heading straight to the core waters of the Persian Gulf. The Wall Street Journal revealed on the 26th that the US military is considering deploying up to 10000 additional ground combat troops, including infantry and armored forces, with a total force size of only one percent of the Iraq War, completely abandoning the million strong army's previous mode of operation. The strategic intention of the Pentagon is very clear: to abandon the costly and uncontrollable full-scale occupation and instead focus on the "economic strangulation war". Its core tactical goal is aimed directly at the southwestern oil producing areas of Iran and the throat of the Strait of Hormuz, and it also targets the core hub of Iran's crude oil exports - Halk Island. This island undertakes more than 90% of Iran's crude oil export tasks and can be regarded as the lifeline of Iran's economy. Multiple international media outlets and think tanks have repeatedly warned that blindly believing in the myth of "42 days to destroy Iraq" may lead the United States into a new strategic quagmire.
