US president's remarks on a central objective of his administration's war come amid the prospect of renewed military strikes on Iran.
The U.S. is sending about 9,000 more personnel and Patriot batteries to the Middle East, potentially raising its regional force from 50,000 to 60,000 as Trump weighs renewed strikes on Iran after the midterms. Three carrier groups, if all present, could add nearly 20,000 troops.
US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was approaching a decision on Iran, warning Tehran faced the “easy way or the hard way” as the Pentagon kept military options open amid continued attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
