The United States government is considering sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East as President Donald Trump reviews his options in the region, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
Citing officials from the Department of Defense, the report says the proposed deployment is aimed at giving Trump greater military flexibility at a time when he is also weighing the possibility of reopening peace talks with Iran.
The move, still under discussion at the Pentagon, highlights the balancing act between increasing military pressure and pursuing diplomatic solutions with Tehran.
