The Pentagon will deploy about 1,500 extra troops to Saudi Arabia in response to requests by the leading US military commander in the Middle East
Washington The Pentagon will deploy about 1,500 extra troops to Saudi Arabia in answer to requests by the leading US military commander in the Middle East and, in part, because the US Navy is unable to send a relief aircraft carrier to deter potential Iranian aggression, multiple US officials tell CNN.
