President Trump has suggested he could walk away from Iran and leave other nations to police the Strait of Hormuz, threatening that America “won’t be there to help you anymore”.
If President Donald Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.
The Pentagon said on Monday that the US has more troops deployed in Iraq than it has been disclosing, an admission that comes after it revealed there are significantly more US troops in Syria than the US has said.
