Informed sources reveal: U.S. government considers deploying thousands of soldiers in the Middle East
On the 18th local time, a CCTV reporter learned that a U.S. official and three informed sources revealed that as the U.S. military prepares to take the next steps in actions against Iran, the Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of U.S. soldiers to strengthen its military operations in the Middle East.
Currently, the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran has entered its third week. Analysts suggest that as Trump weighs whether to expand the scale of U.S. military operations, this troop deployment could provide him with more options. Sources indicate that options include ensuring that tankers can safely pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a mission that will primarily be carried out by air and naval forces.
