US EditionU.S. Weighs Sending Thousands More Troops to Reinforce Iran Operations: Reuters
- On Thursday, the Trump administration is weighing deployment of thousands of additional U.S. troops to the Middle East to expand strategic options against Iran as the conflict enters its third week.
- Operation Epic Fury has involved more than 7,800 strikes since February 28, 2026, targeting Iranian navy, missile, and drone stockpiles as the U.S. military continues intensive operations in the region.
- Proposed objectives include securing the Strait of Hormuz or deploying forces to Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports; officials stress no final decision regarding ground troops has been made.
- Despite past campaign promises to avoid foreign wars, Trump has refused to rule out "boots on the ground" in Iran, creating significant political risks given low public support for the conflict.
- U.S. Indo-Pacific Command leaders caution that shifting resources to the Middle East could leave the Pacific dangerously under-resourced, potentially impairing readiness to counter rising powers like China.
