By the Numbers
US President Donald Trump is seriously considering officially declaring the war with Iran over. However, the Pentagon continues to quietly increase its military presence in the region. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is discussing the matter with his advisors and is leaning in a positive direction.
Trump argues that the continuously increasing economic pressure on Iran will eventually force Tehran to either abandon its nuclear program or face regime collapse. The 'Economic Pressure Operation' launched last week targets the oil, maritime, aviation, gold, technology, and digital asset sectors. Despite this, the Pentagon continues troop deployments indicating the war could extend into next year.
Approximately 50,000 US troops and 19 warships, including two aircraft carriers and 13 missile destroyers, are in the region. Trump stated the US is there to protect Israel, the Middle East, and Western countries from Iran. In US strikes last Tuesday night, 18 people were killed and 108 injured at Iranian Revolutionary Guard targets.
