In a powerful show of force that signals the final phase of operations in the Strait of Hormuz, the US military has executed a mᴀssive air ᴀssault, deploying over 5,000 combat-ready troops via heavy-lift CH-53K King Stallion helicopters directly into strategic positions along the Iranian coastline.
The operation, launched under the codename “Ultimatum Hormuz,” saw dozens of CH-53 helicopters thundering across the strait under the protective umbrella of F-35 fighters and Apache gunships. Troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and Marine Expeditionary Units rapidly secured key high ground and former Iranian defensive positions, establishing forward operating bases that further тιԍнтen the coalition’s stranglehold on the critical waterway.

Providing devastating close air support, squadrons of A-10 Warthog Thunderbolt II aircraft dominated the battlefield with relentless firepower. The legendary tank-killers unleashed their signature 30mm GAU-8 cannons and precision munitions on remaining Iranian pockets of resistance, destroying armored vehicles, hidden artillery positions, and mobile rocket launchers attempting to harᴀss US forces. The unmistakable “BRRRRT” of the Warthog’s cannon echoed across the rugged terrain as the aircraft loitered for hours, delivering overwhelming support to ground troops.
This major reinforcement comes after weeks of crushing blows to the Iranian regime: the destruction of Bandar Abbas port, Kharg Island infrastructure, Hajiabad missile city, the secret underground mega-fortress, the mountain tank production facility, the sea mines factory, and the recent obliteration of Iranian air bases by B-2 Spirit bombers. Iran’s desperate attempts at escalation, including the failed Russian Su-57 attack on a US carrier and repeated cluster bomb and missile barrages, have all ended in failure.

With 5,000 additional troops now firmly established and the A-10 Warthog owning the skies above Hormuz, the United States has delivered a clear ultimatum: the Iranian regime’s ability to threaten global energy routes is over. Twenty percent of the world’s oil now flows under total American protection.
The Iranian regime is in full panic. Its military is fragmented, its leadership isolated, and its coastline under direct US control. America and Israel continue to dictate every move in this conflict with unmatched power and precision.
This decisive operation is still developing rapidly. Further advances and updates will follow as coalition forces consolidate their dominant position in the Strait of Hormuz.
