US to Deploy Thousands of Elite Soldiers to West Asia Amid Iran Tensions

• The Pentagon plans to send thousands of soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East.
• This deployment adds to a massive military buildup despite the Trump administration seeking talks with Iran.
• The troops, stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, will build capacity for potential future operations.
• This follows last week's deployment of thousands of Marines and sailors aboard the USS Boxer.
• The deployments occur after President Trump postponed threats to bomb Iranian power plants, though Iran denies any talks.
