[U.S. May Increase Troop Deployment in the Middle East to 17,000, Domestic Anti-War Protests Erupt on a Large Scale] BlockBeats News, March 28: According to multiple sources, U.S. President Trump is evaluating the deployment of over 17,000 ground troops around Iran. Although this scale is far below the approximately 150,000 troops deployed at the start of the Iraq War in 2003, it is sufficient to carry out limited military operations, including seizing strategic locations, controlling key resources, or implementing regional occupations. Earlier reports indicated that the Pentagon is considering adding up to 10,000 troops to the existing force of approximately 7,000. The additional forces may include infantry, armored units, and logistical support. Analysts believe this move demonstrates the U.S.'s "dual-track strategy" of balancing diplomatic negotiations with military pressure. Meanwhile, domestic opposition in the U.S. continues to intensify. The "No Kings" protest movement plans to hold over 3,000 rallies across the country this Saturday to oppose the Trump administration's policies, covering issues such as anti-immigration measures and military actions against Iran. Organizers claim this event could become one of the largest protest days in U.S. history, with major cities like Washington, Chicago, and San Francisco expected to see large-scale demonstrations.
