US DISPATCHING 1,000 MORE TROOPS TO WEST ASIA AMID IRAN CONCERN-

The US is dispatching 1,000 more troops to West Asia as concerns in the Persian Gulf mounted Tuesday over Iran's declaration that it would not observe with the international agreement that keeps it from making nuclear weapons. At the same time, Iran insisted it was not seeking war. Iran's announcement Monday that it could soon start enriching uranium to just a step away from weapons-grade levels challenged the US President Donald Trump's assurances to allies that the US withdrawal from the deal last year made the world at a safer place. The Pentagon responded by ordering 1,000 more troops to West Asia, including security forces for additional surveillance and intelligence-gathering. The escalation of American military might was aimed at deterring Iran and calming allies worried about the safety of strategic shipping lanes. Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, insisted Tuesday that while we do not wage war with any nation, Iranians will withstand mounting the US pressure and emerge victoriously. In announcing the new deployment, acting the US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan also stressed that the forces were for defensive purposes to address air, naval, and ground-based threats in West Asia. The United States does not seek conflict with Iran. Shanahan said, describing the move as intended to ensure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region and to protect our national interests.

IRAN said Monday it would start violating 2015 Nuclear deal which was signed by the US, UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany-by increasing its uranium stockpile in the next 10 days if other signatories did not help it overcome sanctions. The Trump administration last year withdrew the US from the deal, which restricts Iran's nuclear program and reimposed sanctions, triggering the latest round of tensions. After Iran's latest threat, Washington has told Tehran that it must comply with the Uranium stockpile limits set by 2015 deal. This is an awkward situation for the Trump administration since the President has already pulled the US out from the deal and called it the worst deal in history as the limits set by it do not, according to him, go far enough to stop Iran's nuclear program.
