(Worthy News) - The United States is sending troops and other military equipment to Saudi Arabia as tensions flare with Iran, the Pentagon announced late Friday.

In a statement, U.S. Central Command said, "This movement of forces provides an additional deterrent, and ensures our ability to defend our forces and interests in the region from emergent, credible threats."

The U.S. will send 500 troops, Patriot air defense missile batteries, and F-22 stealth fighters to the Prince Sultan Air Base near the capital of Riyadh, according to the BBC. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More...) ]
