The Pentagon will send a third aircraft carrier and warships to the Middle East. In this way, Washington will increase the troops deployed in the region by approximately 10,000 soldiers. It is expected that the military reinforcements, which raise fears of an escalation against Iran, will arrive by the end of November.
