US Deploys Troops to Middle East Amidst Iran Negotiations; Trump Claims "Very Good" Talks
The Pentagon is deploying thousands of soldiers from the elite 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, with reports indicating 2,000 to 3,000 troops on standby. This comes as the US and Iran are reportedly close to a deal or ground intervention, with plans for direct talks, though Iran claims the US is 'negotiating with itself' while outlining its demands. President Trump stated the US had "very good and productive" talks with Tehran, finding "significant points of agreement."
