Why was the Battle of Iwo Jima important in the Pacific Theatre?
and also why was it important to control this island?
It marked the end of any Japanese advances. It also gave the USA an airfield from which airplanes could reach the Japanese home islands, bomb them, and return to base. (There had been a raid on Tokyo in 1942 in which the planes dropped their bombs but did not have enough fuel to return.)
