The US military will send an additional 1,000 troops to the Middle East amid growing tensions with Iran.
Acting Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan said the deployment was in response to what he described as "hostile behaviour" by Iranian forces.
The US Navy also shared new images it says link Iran to recent oil tanker attacks in the Gulf of Oman.
Iran announced on Monday it would no longer comply with part of the 2015 deal on curbing its nuclear ambitions.
It said it would exceed a limit agreed with international powers on its enriched uranium stockpiles by 27 June.
The images released by the Pentagon purport to show the remnants of an unexploded mine on the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous.
The photos appear to show it being removed by members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and damage elsewhere to the tanker.
A Norwegian-owned vessel also reported being hit by blasts on Thursday.
Iran has denied involvement in the attacks and called US accusations "unfounded".
In a statement on Monday, Mr Shanahan said the deployment of troops was in response to a request from US Central Command. He said the decision had been made in consultation with the White House.
The statement said the "United States does not seek conflict with Iran" but said the action was taken to "ensure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region to protect our national interests".
"We will continue to monitor the situation diligently and make adjustments to force levels as necessary given intelligence reporting and credible threats," his statement went on.

The Elite would have liked to have kept that one going for many more years,so on the strength of that NO.
They make lots on money with drugs,who could forget "Poppy" Bush,delightful.
I don't see america getting involved in a war. Iran is too powerful for that to happen. Have always said they should get nuclear weapons pronto(if they haven't already). That's the only way they can avoid a war with the Americans because one day they're going to come knocking. There are only so many countries in the world to invade.
They will probably just be providing basic infrastructure to the contractors that will work in Iran for them. Just like they do in Afghanistan.
CNN are running some absolute c*** today
Their main story is about a girl (that's actually a boy) having to pretend to be a girl
And at the side of that is how Iran are loving the fact they are being blamed for the attack
Welcome to the nut house

Sorry it should say a boy that's having to pretend to be a boy, but thinks he's a girl, even losing track myself with regards to that one
