US troops mobilise amid Iran tensions | This Is America

This episode of This Is America looks at what the latest US troop mobilisation really signals as tensions with Iran escalate. Washington is deploying warships, Marines and airborne forces to the region, even as it insists it does not want a prolonged conflict or a wider war. Is this a calculated show of force designed to pressure Iran and reassure allies, or the first step towards a deeper and more open-ended military campaign? We examine what this buildup means for the Strait of Hormuz, global energy markets, US alliances, and the risk of miscalculation that could drag the region – and American forces – into a conflict that is far harder to end than to begin.
