Pentagon believes future Iranian 'aggression' could occur

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s government blames ‘thugs’ for the unrest in the country.

Tensions in the Gulf have risen since attacks on oil tankers during the summer, including off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, and a major assault on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia. The United States has blamed Iran, which has denied being behind the attacks on global energy infrastructure. Two US officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there was intelligence over the past month indicating that Iran was moving forces and weapons in the region.One of the officials said that part of the concern was Iranian activity inside Iraq, which is experiencing anti-government protests.

The United States has deployed thousands of additional military forces in the Middle East, including bombers and air defence personnel, to act as a deterrent against what Washington says is provocative Iranian behaviour.
