JUST IN: The U.S. military is deploying a Patriot anti-missile battery to the Middle East to further deter threats from Iran, the Pentagon announced on Friday.

The Pentagon would not specify the location but a senior military official said it would arrive"relatively soon."

In addition to the Patriot system, the amphibious transport dock ship USS Arlington will also head to the Middle East. The Arlington will replace the USS Fort McHenry, as part of the USS Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group. A senior military official told reporters the Arlington was already slated to eventually be in the region, but its movement will be expedited to provide enhanced command and control capabilities.

The Patriot battery provides long-range defense to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and advanced aircraft.

Just in case...

'Threats from Iran'? Thats a lie designed to manufacture consent for America going to war again as part of the Zionist neo-con agenda to destabalize the Middle-east for a greater Israel. Bring back the draft and you'll hear 'hell no, we won't go'. F**k Israel, and ABC News.

'Threats from Iran'? Did Iran recently send its navy to the gulf of Mexico? If US doesn't want to feel threatened, just a quick thought, how about they stop parking their ships in other countries' territorial waters?

Our President is making a show of force and our pansy Congress better be ready to back him......

At the request of Israel, just when the US Administration planned to withdraw from Afghanistan and the Middle East. They will always find a way to involve the US due to their inability to live in peace with their neighbours.

That is not nothing it is the new patriot based on the arrow.

And how about a battalion of infantry to protect the Patriot battery?

Wow, ABC, only 24 hours late lol.

Another confrontation that we didn’t have 3 years ago. We are adrift without allies, without consensus and without a strategy for achieving victory.

What threats like the story of WMD which saw needless lifes lost

iran w/nukes means islamic terrorists w/nukes. we must try all peaceful means to stop iran from getting nukes. OR OBLITERATE NUKE SITES N MILITARY. everybody, including iranians, will be happy. then we will have lasting peace in m.e.

Having just uploaded a blueberry muffin, I am deploying a new coffee machine into my kitchen 🥮

The only threat is in the WH.

Good for another contract with the military political complex.

Look at all these so call Republican Christian pro-lifers advocating violence against Iran. How does war fit into your Christian values? How will kids being killed fit your pro life claim? Please explain it to me. I love hearing Republican fairy tales.

I'm so happy for ☹️☹️Raytheon Company and their stock holders.

Whenever we see what is happening in the Middle East and the ramifications that occur moment by moment reminds us of the scenario of the Gulf of Khansin war in the sixties of the last century and its consequences if the outbreak of the Gulf Bay battle led to what happened and the

Who's paying for it?

Why digging and casing somebody else's history?

Fantastic news !!!

War is going to happen, as things are getting really scary, with Iran, North Korea, Russia, China and Syria. Hope and pray for peace.

Why blame Iran when we all know Russia is providing the weapons?

Wag the dog.
