The US has deployed over 3,500 troops to the Middle East, including the USS Tripoli with 2,500 Marines, as the Iran war intensifies. The USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, arrived in the region along with other ships and a Marine Expeditionary Unit. The deployment comes after Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan air base, injuring 10 US troops. The war has disrupted global air travel, oil exports, and caused fuel prices to soar. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have entered the conflict, launching missile strikes on Israel, which could further destabilize global shipping and push up oil prices.
