Situation Update:
On Day 20 of the operation, the United States Marine Corps' 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments successfully secured Bandar Abbas City with the effective support of Close Air Support (CAS) from both the Air Force and the Navy. By sunset, the remaining Iranian resistance forces had capitulated, marking a significant victory for our allied forces. This success ensured that the majority of southern Iran's coastal regions were under our control after three weeks of coordinated joint operations. The strategic capture of Bandar Abbas has rendered the Hormuz Strait out of effective rocket and short-range missile attack range from Tehran. Consequently, the risk levels for commercial vessels transiting the strait have been normalized. Insurance companies have consequently given the green light for shipowners to navigate the strait, albeit with a war premium. On the morning following the capture, hundreds of cargo ships departed the Persian Gulf ports, rejuvenating the Hormuz Strait as one of the world's busiest maritime corridors. These vessels, predominantly tankers and bulk carriers, were laden with millions of tons of raw materials and energy products, destined for global markets. However, the leader of the Iranian military regime has not yet shown any signs of surrender. Intelligence reports indicate that Russia continues to bolster Tehran with supplies and weapons via the Caspian Sea. Notably, eight Su-27 and four Su-30 fighters have been deployed to Kerman Airbase, and more than eight thousand Russian troops have arrived in the Kerman region to support the Iranian army in halting our northward advance. Concerningly, the uranium enrichment facility in Birjand has produced over 25 kilograms of 90% highly enriched uranium (U-235), which constitutes half of the critical mass required for a nuclear warhead. Various strike plans targeting this enrichment plant have been deliberated by the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet and the U.S. Air Force's Middle East Central Command Joint Operations Center. However, the final strike strategy remains under debate, and its specifics are classified at the highest levels. Securing strategic depth is crucial for enabling deeper strikes into Iran's hinterland. Consequently, the upcoming battle for Kerman has been designated a top priority. A joint offensive counter-air operation is scheduled on Day 21, involving coordinated efforts from both the Air Force and the Navy. The primary objective of this operation is to neutralize the remaining Iranian Air Force and the Russian mercenary fighters in the Kerman region, thereby establishing air supremacy over the northern airspace beyond the current frontlines. This operation is pivotal for paving the way for further strategic advances and ensuring the continued success of our operation in the theatre.
