Answer:

I hope this helped. I am sorry if you get this wrong. Have a good day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The island of Iwo Jima was significants to U.S. army because it provided a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands known by the name of Operation Downfall. It was also a Japanese air base from which they attacked the Mariana Islands. By conquering the island they would eliminate that problem and also cut in half the B-29s raid distance for the Operation.
