Key points: The Pentagon said military deployment would be primarily defensive in nature A total of 25 drones and missiles were launched at two Saudi oil plants last weekend The deployment could further aggravate Iran, which denies responsibility for the attacks The Pentagon said the deployment, approved on Friday, was "in response to the kingdom's request" and would be primarily defensive in nature, involving a moderate number of US military personnel. The announcement reflected Mr Trump's earlier comments when he told reporters that showing restraint "shows far more strength" than launching military strikes, and that he wanted to avoid an all-out war with Iran. US officials point finger at Iran Remains of what was described as a misfired Iranian cruise missile used in an attack that targeted the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil industry.
