WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Monday ordered another 1,000 American troops to the Middle East, moving to bolster security in a region reeling from hostile attacks on commercial ships that the U.S. has blamed on Iran. Officials said the deployment includes security forces and troops for additional surveillance and intelligence gathering in the region.

Defendant Trump reportedly glared at Haberman before leaving court. The internet lit up.
