The Pentagon has denied media reports that President Donald Trump is weighing up sending 10,000 troops to the Middle East.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the potential deployment is to give Trump "more military options even as he weighs peace talks with Tehran”.
The force would likely include infantry and armoured vehicles, the outlet reports, and would come on top of the 5,000 US Marines that have already been deployed to the region.
It comes as Iranian state media says the Strait of Hormuz is closed this morning, with vessels being turned back.
