Stars & Stripes schreibt, die USA planten, 3.000 weitere Soldaten an den Golf zu verlegen: „The new deployment will include roughly 3,000 82nd Airborne Division soldiers who were placed on prepare-to-deploy orders earlier this week amid growing tensions in Iraq between the United States and Iran, two officials said.“ UPDATE: Andere Quellen sprechen von 3.500 Soldaten.
