The Pentagon has deployed a task force of special operations troops that includes Army Rangers to the Middle East, a Defense official said, adding to the buildup in the region following the U.S. killing of Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani.
The move comes alongside the deployment of a brigade of 4,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division to Kuwait as President Donald Trump threatens more military strikes and as U.S. bases in the Middle East go on high alert.The centerpiece of the special operations deployment is a company from the 75th Ranger Regiment, said the official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak about the move.
One of those militias, Kataib Hezbollah, attacked the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday as part of an escalation that began with intensifying rocket attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq. After a rocket attack killed a U.S. contractor late last month, the Pentagon launched airstrikes against five Kataib Hezbollah bases in Iraq and Syria last weekend, prompting the embassy assault.
On Thursday night, U.S. aircraft killed both Soleimani and Kataib Hezbollah’s founder, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, in a strike near Baghdad International Airport. On Saturday, the military announced that rocket attacks were carried out near bases that house U.S. troops in Baghdad and Balad, and that no U.S. troops were injured.
