US has deployed 14,000 additional troops in Middle East since May, says Mark Esper

Washington, Dec 14 (UNI) US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on Friday said that 14,000 additional troops have been deployed to Middle East since May to tackle Iran and demonstrate commitment to their allies and partners.
"(Iran’s) efforts have increased in recent months as it attacked targets in Saudi Arabia, disrupted commercial shipping to the Strait of Hormuz, shot down United States unmanned aerial vehicle in international airspace and provided support to proxies, including the Houthis, Hezbollah and Shia militia groups in Iraq," Sputnik quoted Mr Esper as saying.
"To address these threats, since May of this year nearly 14,000 US military personnel have deployed to the region to further enhance deterrence and demonstrate our commitment to our allies and our partners," he added.
