The Trump administration is sending an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East.
Russian government officials slammed the Trump administration's approach to Iran on Tuesday, arguing that the U.S. government is purposefully aiming to provoke a conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Friday, at a time when the U.S. is increasingly isolated in its approach to Iran. "This is happening for one reason that has not been cited so far, which is the fact that the United States has violated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, meaning the Iran deal," the adviser Nathalie Tocci told BBC in a radio interview on Tuesday.
The Pentagon announced on Monday that it would send an additional 1,000 U.S. troops to the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalate. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said that the troops were being sent for"defense purposes."
