How many US troops are deployed to neighboring countries of Iran?

 ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Iran has claimed the death of 80 US soldiers in a missile attack on two US bases in Iraq in retaliation for the 'assassination' of its General Qasim Sulaimani. After the US action, Iran's response to the threat poses a new war in the region. The US Times reports on the number of US troops deployed in the Gulf countries and how many US troops are stationed in neighboring Iran and neighboring countries, according to a New York Times report. Between 1,000 and 65 thousand.
The number of troops deployed in Iraq is 5,500 to 6,000 and the number of US troops in Syria is about 600. Since the alleged Iranian attacks in May last year, the Pentagon has deployed 14,000 additional troops to the Gulf of Persia, including some 3,000 sent to Saudi Arabia. US military assets in the region include advance warning aircraft, maritime surveillance aircraft, Patriot Air and Missile Defense batteries, B-52 bomber aircraft, carrier strike groups, armed rapper drones, and engineering and other personnel. Along with this, there are about two to two thousand US troops in Turkey, most of whom are stationed at the Engelsk Airbus.
The United States has continued to use the base despite tense ties with its NATO allies, and from here it flew planes for hundreds of air strikes against ISIS in 2016 and 2017. Bahrain is the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the United States, with the US Navy's Fifth Flat headquarters in the Gulf state Bahrain commanding warships in the region and there are about 7,000 US troops stationed there.
Qatar, which has bad relations with other Gulf countries, also has 13,000 US troops stationed at the Aydar Airbase. The same airbase is the headquarters of US air operations in the region. The US is deploying about 4,000 more troops in its 82nd Airborne Division in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iraq's neighboring country, Kuwait.
It should be remembered that at present, Iran and neighboring countries of Pakistan also have 13,000 to 14,000 US troops deployed in various operations in the region. Remember that Iran has warned the US that if it took any further action it would target Dubai and the Israeli city of Haifa.
