The
United States has deployed nearly 3,000 more Army troops to the Middle
East as reinforcements in the volatile aftermath of the killing of an
Iranian general in a strike ordered by President Donald Trump.
The soldiers are in addition to about 700 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne who deployed to Kuwait earlier this week after the storming of the US Embassy compound in Baghdad by Iran-backed militiamen and their supporters.
