By Elvan Kivilcim

Iran's parliamentary speaker warned Washington that Tehran was "closely monitoring all U.S. movements in the region, especially troop deployments." Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, one of the Islamic Republic's remaining top leaders, also said the U.S. shouldn't test Iran's "resolve to defend our land." Ghalibaf has suggested in public statements that Tehran isn't ready for negotiations.

The Pentagon is preparing to deploy 3,000 of the Army's elite 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East to support the war, according to two U.S. officials, The Wall Street Journal reported. A decision to put boots on the ground hasn't been made, officials said.

Last week, U.S. officials also said three warships and thousands of additional Marines were being sent to the region, the second large deployment of Marines in the space of days.

Thousands of Marines are set to arrive in the Middle East on Friday, the Journal has reported, the day President Trump has set as the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Some 50,000 U.S. troops are already involved in the conflict.
