The United States is sending a 2,500-strong Marine expedionary force to the Middle East, a U.S. official said, as President Donald Trump declared he would end the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran "when I feel it in my bones."
The Marine deployment signals deepening American involvement in the 2-week-old Iran war and comes after U.S. Central Command confirmed the deaths of six U.S. troops when their refueling aircraft crashed over western Iraq.
The Thursday night crash raised the total number of United States war dead to 13. Officials initially believed that two members of the crew had survived.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth told reporters that Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was "wounded and likely disfigured" in air strikes on the war's first day, and the average U.S. nationwide gas price hit $3.644 a gallon, with prices approaching $5 in some parts of the West.
