The United States announced on Friday that it will send additional troops to the Middle East as a deterrent against Iran. In addition to the B-52 bombers, new warships are being sent to the area.
According to the US Department of Defense, the gesture is a warning to Iran not to attack US citizens or national interests in the region. Iran and Israel have carried out attacks against each other as part of the war in the region, in which Israel is fighting against extremist organizations supported by Iran.
