WASHINGTON — The United States is sending a small number of additional troops to the Middle East given escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon 's Hezbollah , the Pentagon said on Monday, declining to specify the precise number or mission of the deployed forces.
That call for diplomacy has been underscored by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in daily calls with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.Experts question whether Iran would stay on the sidelines if Lebanon's Hezbollah's existence were threatened and say US troops could also find themselves targeted throughout the Middle East, if a regional war breaks out.In their call on Sunday, Austin suggested that no outside actors should intervene in the conflict.
