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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The senior official also said on the Monday press briefing that &#8220;many of these attacks were successfully disrupted by our military. Most failed to reach their targets, thanks to our robust defenses.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore resources are flowing into the US Central Command area of operations to include defenses against drones and rockets,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Oct. 27, Ryder said that US F-16 fighter jets launched airstrikes on two IRGC positions in eastern Syria, in retaliation for IRGC attacks against US bases in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official added on Monday, &#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue to respond when the president decides that&#8217;s necessary for U.S. force protection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIran\u2019s objective for a long time has been to force a withdrawal of the U.S. military from the region,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat I would observe is that we\u2019re still there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Saad
