On March 18, a US official and three informed sources revealed that the Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of American troops to the Middle East as it prepares for the next steps in its response to Iran.

This move aims to bolster US military operations in the region.

The ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has entered its third week. Analysts suggest that as US President Trump weighs the possibility of expanding military operations in the region, the deployment could offer more strategic options.

According to the sources, these options include ensuring the safe passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, a mission that would primarily rely on air and naval forces.
