Description: The Pentagon is planning to deploy a brigade combat team from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East to support operation against Iran. A written order to deploy the unit, made up of roughly 3,000 soldiers, is expected in the coming hours, the officials confirmed.  Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sees a “historic opportunity” to remake the region, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations.  President Trump announced The US will hold off on striking Iranian energy infrastructure and that any negotiated settlement would include Tehran handing over its supply of enriched uranium, a critical element of the country’s nuclear program.  The geography of the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping lanes are just 2 miles wide, gives Iran unique power over the global economy. But its history shows the current battle for the strait is just the latest iteration of a centuries-old fight to control the critical trade entrepôt.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---  Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
