This comes as tensions escalate between Iran and the Unites States after a weekend attack on a Saudi Aramco plant.

Aramco's Abqaiq processing plant and Khurais oilfield halved the kingdom's oil output.

Washington approved the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia at"the kingdom's request," Defense Secretary Mark Esper said, noting the forces would be"defensive in nature" and focused on air and missile defence. "Whoever wants their land to become the main battlefield, go ahead," he told a news conference in Tehran."We hope that they don't make a strategic mistake," he said, listing past US military"adventures" against Iran.

It featured a badly damaged drone with US military markings said to be an RQ-4 Global Hawk that Iran downed in June, as well as an RQ-170 Sentinel captured in 2011 and still intact.The Guards also displayed the domestically manufactured Khordad 3 air defense battery they say was used to shoot down the Global Hawk.
