WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says the U.S. will move a Patriot missile battery into the Middle East region to counter threats from Iran.
The department provided no details, but a defence official says the move comes after intelligence showed that the Iranians have loaded military equipment and missiles onto small boats.
The official was not authorized to discuss the information publicly so spoke anonymously.
