US troops deploy to Middle East amid conflicting signals on Iran negotiations

The U.S. is sending additional troops to the Middle East amid conflicting statements about ongoing negotiations to end the war in Iran. While President Trump and his administration reference a 15-point plan and claim productive talks, Iranian officials deny negotiations and have reportedly rejected the plan. Uncertainty surrounds who the U.S. is communicating with, given recent leadership changes in Iran. Meanwhile, public opinion is divided, with most Americans opposing the war, though a majority of Republicans support it.
