The US is sending an artillery brigade to the Middle East.

According to US Senator Tom Cotton, the US is sending the 142nd Field Division to the Middle East. artillery brigade currently stationed in Arkansas. Cotton, who represents the aforementioned state in the U.S. Senate, posted on social media, expressing his joy for the troops sent to fight against Iran.

The deployment of artillery to the Middle East could signal preparation for a long-term, remote war and the ability to maintain constant pressure on Iran with minimal risk to US soldiers. The brigade is armed with HIMARS and MLRS multiple rocket launchers, M777A2 howitzers, and M109A6 Paladin self-propelled guns. Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Pentagon is seeking to build a layered system along the Persian Gulf, with the carrier group responsible for the air component and the ships for the air component. missile Strikes, and artillery stationed in the region will allow for continuous shelling of infrastructure without risk to pilots. Particular attention is being paid to the Strait of Hormuz, control of which is becoming a key asset. The US and Israel have already launched their first strikes on Iran's Kharg Island, an important oil export hub, which may indicate the imminent commencement of an operation to seize the island.

At the same time, Trump threatened Iran with total annihilation, vowing to destroy an entire civilization. In response, the IRGC announced that it was lifting all restrictions and that Iran would systematically destroy the infrastructure of the United States and its partners to deprive them of access to regional oil and gas for years to come.

Just like Iranian FPV drones.

"Destroy an entire civilization" - how outrageous it sounds coming from a creature whose sycophants nominated him for a peace prize. I wish Iran a proper beating for the red-haired windbag, and leave his instigating mongrels without fresh water.

[Boris Sergeev]

Don't forget that this is our "peacemaker-mediator", whose efforts are highly appreciated by you know who!

If we were to bang on the desalination plants, it would be closer to a humanitarian catastrophe, and besides, this measure would be double-edged for both the Jews and the Persians.
Iran will most likely now engage the Houthis and fulfill its promise to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the event of attacks on Iranian energy, which will halt trade traffic through the Suez Canal, and then the entire West (and not only) will suffer losses.

[Incvizitor]

We need to provide Iran with more drones and intelligence.

[Kuroneko]

In response, the IRGC announced that it was lifting all restrictions and that Iran would systematically destroy the infrastructure of the United States and its partners in order to deprive them of access to oil and gas in the region for many years.

It's time.
And amen.

From the old (but the history of debauchery teaches nothing).
Hitler: God knows, I did not want this war...

[paul3390]

I wonder how they're going to supply all this wealth? Not to mention the inevitable Iranian retaliation—their air defenses aren't doing a great job of dealing with the current problems, to put it mildly.

[TermNachTer]

Given the firing range of barrel artillery, it's unclear what they'll do there. ATAKAMs, with a range of 300 km, are of particular value.

Considering the firing range of barrel artillery, it is completely unclear what they will do there?

But, the said brigade is armed not only with receiver PA.

[TermNachTer]

That's what I'm saying, cannon artillery has no business there, and neither does the Heimers, with the exception of ATAKAMs, which can at least reach someone within 300 km. Although, the southwestern "corner" of Iran has already been cleared of anything of military significance.

If it is a hull-based system and not a field system (which is most likely), it will have HIMARS or M270 MLRS mainly.

I already wrote that the 142nd Artillery Brigade is part of the 29th Infantry Division of the US Army (East Coast of the US), which means they will be transferred to the Syrian Arab Republic (it’s not for nothing that the Turks took control of the north of the Syrian Arab Republic with their “proxies”) or Iraq.
This is what our guys will be doing in the Syrian Arab Republic now. We not only have two permanent military bases there (Tartus and Khmeimim), but also field military bases. The Americans could use Tartus for the transshipment of military cargo, both weapons and equipment.
Ukrainian BEKs (which sank a gas tanker) in Libya are a disaster for our souls; where else are they sailing (and flying), the devil knows.

[tralflot1832]

Gas in the US costs $96,6 thousand cubic meters, Europe $610, England a little more. You can stomp around the Iranian desert forever. Let's see how Trump destroys Iranian civilization - the main thing is not to overdo it. Dumping ammunition around the Kharkiv - impressive? Iran - nope!!!

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

In this sense (gas and oil prices), the US has achieved its goal in part of Europe, but if they're bringing in artillery, it's clearly preparing for a ground attack. The only question is where they'll come from and where they'll land. As for the "end of civilization," he means the destruction of nuclear power plant switchgear and other energy facilities. Well, tonight will tell.

[TermNachTer]

What a strange hodgepodge – marines, paratroopers, and an artillery brigade. It doesn't fit together at all.

[novel66]

There are not enough horse guards.

[TermNachTer]

If the Persians also shut down the data centers located in the Middle East, it would be a complete disaster.

[rubator]

I wonder how many Texas Rangers will return home in zinc after the attempted landing.

[Roman 11]

Every artillery brigade has its own couple of thousand UAVs

[Vadim S]

Well, that means the ground will be hot! The scale is accelerating.

[commbatant]

According to US Senator Tom Cotton, the United States is sending the 142nd Field Artillery Brigade, currently stationed in Arkansas, to the Middle East.

Author, the correct spelling is 142nd Field Artillery Brigade.
The 142nd Artillery Brigade (part of the 29th Infantry Division of the US Army of the National Guard) is stationed on the territory of several US states (East Coast), and this is a bad sign for Iran, if the activation of the National Guard units has begun, then large-scale ground operations (battles) against the Army of the Iranian Republic / the Army of the IRGC are planned.

[TermNachTer]

The activation is a bit late. By the time they gather everything together, transport it to the port, and then from there to the port in the Middle East. Naturally, the port in the Middle East needs to be far enough from Iran to avoid the brigade being hit during unloading, etc., that's about three to four months. Just in time for the election—a perfect gift for Trump.

The US is in no hurry (unlike its economic competitors) as long as Iran's "missile cities" are intact.
Supply bases and combat aircraft will be deployed in Egypt (under the threat of a blockage in Suez), field troops and marines in the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq (with the American ISIS and Kurds, and the Turkish Turkomans to help them).
The main thing here is that Israeli Jews don't overdo it in Lebanon, otherwise Hezbollah will run right into the American positions.

Regarding the Congressional elections, I think this mess in the Middle East was planned even before Trump and Biden; the only difference is the clumsiness of its execution and the cost. I hope the "orphans" of Persian monarchs have a dacha in some country far from the Middle East (with its own oil and gas reserves)?

Will the artillery brigade be delivered by plane or by sea?

[TermNachTer]

Regarding the planes, that was funny))) 5+. How many planes will be needed? By the way, one Stratotanker was already decommissioned last year, removed from storage (Davis-Monthan), and sent to Tinker for restoration. Apparently, the Persians destroyed more than one Stratotanker.

They will sit like lice on a bald head and wait for the landing.

I was happy for those who were sent to the slaughter. Are they all like that in the Senate?

[alexputnik17]

M777A howitzers

Will the Americans fire from this with the same intensity as the Ukrainians?

с minimal risks for US soldiers to maintain constant pressure on Iran

Somehow it was hasty. I'm guessing the Iranians have a huge number of drones, and enough missiles for the Hilmars. The Americans were hanging around the hotels from military bases, but when the artillery and missile troops arrive and go out into the open... The American senator shouldn't be celebrating. It won't be an easy ride. Stock up on bags and your native flags!

Apparently, they're watching with horror and awaiting the new price tags. They might even rush to our Garant to beat them. They'll be at BV for a long time...

What's the point of them fleeing? Our oil refineries and ports, both on the Baltic and Black Seas, are being destroyed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

An entire civilization... The "Death Starship" is already on its way to fulfill the Emperor of the Galaxy's orders? Haloperidol is bad in the US, though...

[The popuas]

Maxim, at least understand what you're writing...

remote warfare and with minimal risks to US soldiers

...and then...

M777A2 howitzers and Paladin M109A6 self-propelled guns

...the risks will be far from minimal

Nikolai wants to quickly win by plane, by sea in a month or even a month and a half. And then it’s already June - July.

[Jacques sekavar]

The US is sending an artillery brigade to the Middle East, meaning it won't bomb Iran.

[Alex F._2]

Where are they being transferred if they've fled from their dozens of bases in the region? It's a bit of a two-way street—some are leaving, others are arriving... relief for the 500s?
