Gen. Pat Ryder said that about 900 US troops have deployed or are in the process of going to the Middle East region, including those associated with the air defense systems. This came amid escalation of attacks against US bases in Syria and Iraq, and also in the wake of tensions over the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By John
