Acting US Defense Secretary approves deployment of Patriot missiles to the Middle East amid growing threat from Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has approved a new deployment of Patriot missiles to the Middle East, a US official told Reuters<\/em> on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move is the latest US response to what Washington sees as a growing threat from Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Shanahan approved the deployment<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of a US carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East, citing “indications of a credible threat” by Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials later told CNN<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a> that one of the reasons for the deployment was intelligence showing that Iran is likely moving short-range ballistic missiles aboard boats in the Persian Gulf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tensions have risen between the US and Iran over the past year, after President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal<\/strong><\/span><\/a> between Iran and world powers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US has since imposed two rounds of sanctions on Iran, the latest of which went into effect<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in early November. Those sanctions aim to reduce Iran\u2019s oil exports to zero in a bid to curb the Islamic Republic\u2019s missile program and regional influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, President Donald Trump urged the Iranian regime<\/strong><\/span><\/a> to agree to talks with the US aimed at ending its nuclear program \u2013 while hinting that the US could use military force against Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked by reporters whether there was a risk of military confrontation with the Islamic Republic, Trump replied, \u201cI guess you could say that always, right? I don\u2019t want to say no, but hopefully that won\u2019t happen. We have one of the most powerful ships in the world that is loaded up and we don\u2019t want to do anything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
