The United States plans to deploy additional troops to the Middle East in the near future to strengthen its military presence in the region amid a possible continuation of the fighting with Iran, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday. 

According to US officials cited by the report, the deployment includes a carrier strike group with approximately 6,000 personnel aboard the USS George H.W. Bush, alongside roughly 4,200 Marines with an amphibious ready group of Naval infantry, which is expected to arrive later this month. 

The deployment of troops overlaps with a US maritime blockade targeting the Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz, one of several efforts to push Tehran from an economic perspective and corner it to concede on its nuclear program during negotiations.
