Report: "Alarm as Pentagon Confirms Deployment of US Troops to Israel... Netanyahu is as close as he has ever been to his ultimate wish: making the U.S. fight Iran on Israel's behalf."

Around 100 U.S. troops will be sent to Israel to man the US Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, "as Netanyahu prepares to attack Iran—a move that's expected to provoke an Iranian response."

Currently, 40,000 US troops are stationed across the ME.
