The United States is preparing to deploy additional warships along with around 4,000 Marines and sailors to reinforce its forces engaged against Iran, according to a report by Newsmax citing unnamed officials.
The report said the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group is being dispatched from the US West Coast.
The group is equipped with advanced military assets, including F-35 fighter jets, missiles and amphibious vehicles capable of supporting ground operations.
The reported deployment follows an earlier move by Washington to send about 2,500 Marines and the USS Tripoli to the Middle East, amid escalating regional tensions.
