The administration of Donald Trump is considering deploying additional troops to the Middle East as part of a potential escalation against Iran, according to Reuters.

US Weighs Deploying Thousands of Troops to the Middle East
Sources say the plan could involve sending thousands of troops. Key objectives include ensuring the safe passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and possibly taking control of Khark Island, through which up to 90% of Iran’s oil exports pass.

Another option under discussion is securing Iran’s stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

No final decision has been made yet. According to sources, Donald Trump is keeping “all options on the table.”

Analysts warn that deploying ground forces carries significant political risks. Public support for military operations in the Middle East remains low in the United States, while Trump has previously pledged to avoid new conflicts in the region.
