The United States Administration is considering sending 3,000 troops to the Middle East to participate in operations against Iran. This has been reported to various media outlets by two White House officials who have refused to give their names.
Sources have specified that soldiers from the 82nd Air Brigade unit will be transferred to operations against Iran, which will open up a number of "strategic options" to the Pentagon. They have also reported that no decision has yet been taken on the entry of soldiers into Iranian soil.
The news comes one day after US President Donald Trump ordered to "postpone for five days the wave of attacks "on Iran's power plants. On Saturday, 48 ultimatums were given to Tehran to extend the Ormuz passage, but yesterday the deadline was extended." The US and Iran have had in the last two days very plentiful and constructive talks , "Trump said in a social media message.
The Iranian Government immediately denied the start of talks. Although the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has acknowledged that they have received a request to start negotiations through intermediaries, it has ensured that no talks are under way at the moment.
