The United States military has revealed plans to deploy at least 900 soldiers to the Middle East.
“These include forces that have been on prepare-to-deploy orders and which are deploying from the continental United States,” Brig. Gen. Patrick S. Ryder stated.
“I can confirm that they are not going to Israel,” he explained. (Trending: Chilling Update On Biden Bribery Scheme)
Notably, the decision to send the troops has come just days after Iranian-backed terrorist groups attacked U.S. military personnel, injuring at least 20 people.
In the span of one week, U.S. troops in the Middle East have been targeted in 14 attacks involving drones and rockets, resulting in 24 injuries.
The attacks occurred in Iraq and Syria, with Iran being implicated, although there is no concrete evidence linking the attacks to Iran’s leaders.
Pentagon officials said all the attacks on U.S. troops have Iran’s fingerprints on them.

Iran proxy forces fired a rocket at al-Asad air base in Iraq. The rocket was intercepted and no injuries, casualties or damages to the base were reported.
U.S. forces engaged two drones, in which one was destroyed, and the second was damaged.
There were four people injured in the attack, as well as some damage to the base.
