The US Department of Defense is reportedly considering a special military request to send about 5,000 additional troops to the Middle East. A Reuters report cites two officials who said the petition came from the US Central Command. One of the officials said the deployment would be defensive in nature and that it was not yet clear whether the Pentagon could approve. It appears to be the latest request for additional resources in the face of what US officials have said a credible threat from Iran. It comes after us accelerated a deployment of a Carrier Strike Group and sent bombers and Patriot missiles to the region earlier this month.

据报道,美国国防部正在考虑向中东增派5000名士兵的特别军事请求。路透社援引两名官员的话说,这份请愿书来自美国中央司令部。其中一名官员表示,此次部署将是防御性的,目前尚不清楚美国政府是否会批准。面对美国官员所说的来自伊朗的可信威胁,这似乎是美国要求增加资源的最新请求。此前,美国加快部署了一个航母战斗群,并在本月早些时候向该地区派遣了轰炸机和爱国者导弹。
