The United States said it was considering deploying fresh forces to counter Iran, with an official saying some 5,000 to 7,000 troops could head to the region.
Testifying before Congress, John Rood, the undersecretary of defense for policy, said the United States was "observing Iran's behaviour with concern."
"We're continuing to look at that threat picture and have the ability to dynamically adjust our force posture," Rood told the Senate Armed Services Committee. A US official said on condition of anonymity that Defence Secretary Mark Esper was considering plans to move between 5,000 and 7,000 troops to the Middle East.
The official did not confirm where the troops would be sent, or in what time frame, but said that the deployment would be due to frustrations with Iranian-linked groups' attacks on US assets.
Rood, under questioning, denied a report by The Wall Street Journal the United States was considering sending 14,000 more troops - equivalent to the number sent over the past six months.
Esper also denied the 14,000 figure in a phone call with Senator Jim Inhofe, the chairman of the committee, Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah said.
US President Donald Trump later tweeted that: "The story today that we are sending 12,000 troops to Saudi Arabia is false or, to put it more accurately, Fake News!"
It was not immediately clear which report the president was referring to.
