Following the execution of one of the most powerful person in Iran, general Qasem Soleimani, by a US airstrike in a Baghdad international airport, and the heat between both countries, the US president, Donald Trump is sending 3,500 troops to the Middle East in retaliation to threats after the US President took responsibility for a shocking assassination this morning.
According to the Sun, US Defence and military officials have said the additional troops from the 82nd Airborne Division will be deployed from Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
President Trump called for the attack on Soleimani after claims that he was plotting against American diplomats in Iraq.
He blamed Iran for a protest in Iraq which saw demonstrators break into the US embassy in Baghdad and torch the place.
