“The U.S. is expected to deploy 3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East. The Fort Bragg-based brigade can be deployed anywhere in the world within 24 hours and serves as the Army's emergency response force. A possible ground operation in Kharg Island, a small five-mile landmass that handles 90% of Iran's oil exports could result from the deployment. Sending the division to the region could be the first step to such operations. However, Washington has yet to officially confirm the deployment. It comes after Trump's strange reaction after discovering Iran's new Supreme Leader's sexuality.“
