According to news from the US side on September 2, US aircraft carrier strike groups and naval vessels on missions in the Middle East are facing serious logistical supply difficulties due to the supply base being attacked by Iran or under threat from Iran. Currently, the US military has deployed about 20 ships, including 2 aircraft carriers, in the Middle East region to help carry out the blockade mission against Iranian ports. These 20 ships carry about 20,000 US Marines and Marines. The logistical pressure is huge. Every week, they require about 420,000 meals and about 8 million gallons of fuel, or about 25,000 tons of fuel. The US Navy has previously built logistics and supply bases in many parts of the Middle East. However, on the first day of the US-Iran conflict this year, on February 28, Iran severely damaged a key US Navy logistics and supply base in Bahrain. Other ports in the region that can dock aircraft carriers or supply ships are also within range of Iranian missiles and drones, and are now unusable. Today, US Navy supply ships are only forced to sail thousands of kilometers to Diego Garcia Island in the middle of the Indian Ocean to obtain supplies. Supply lines have been greatly lengthened, and there are operational risks for US Navy ships in the process of receiving supplies.
