WSJ: White House Considering Sending 14,000 More Troops To Middle East

The transcript discusses the US doubling its troop deployment to the Middle East since May, despite Pentagon refutations. The Trump administration initially sent 14,000 troops due to concerns over Iran's actions. A potential new deployment could add another 14,000 troops and ships as tensions rise. Recent events include a US Navy ship seizing an Iranian vessel with missile parts and accusations against Iran for a drone attack on Saudi oil plants, which Iran denies. The Wall Street Journal reports that the President has not yet decided on further deployments, and the Pentagon has refuted claims of an imminent decision.
