US CONSIDERING TROOP INCREASE AS IRANIAN REGIME CONTINUES PROVOCATIONS ACROSS MIDDLE EAST

The United States military is considering the deployment of several thousand more troops to the Middle East after intelligence revealed the alarming movement of Iranian missile batteries into Iraq last month. Many analysts believe that the Tehran regime is taking advantage of unrest across Shi'a Iraq to position missiles that could be used to more easily strike US bases, the Saudi Gulf states, and of course, Israel.

The Pentagon talks became public on the same day that the US State Department announced that it has documented evidence that the Iranian regime has murdered over 1,000 peaceful street protesters in the last month, including one incident caught on tape in which up to 100 fleeing protesters were surrounded and massacred in cold blood by security forces in trucks with automatic weapons.

The movement of Iranian missile batteries into Iraq fits a larger pattern of creeping Iranian aggression across the region. Just last week, a US Navy vessel interdicted an Iranian vessel transporting a "large cache" of sophisticated missile parts to Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been fighting a proxy war against the Saudi Kingdom on Iran's behalf for over five years.
