US is considering limited ground operations in Iran, focusing on targeted raids rather than full-scale invasion. United States is increasing its military footprint in the Middle East, sending over 3,500 additional troops as tensions with Iran continue to rise. At the same time, the Pentagon is developing plans for possible ground operations in Iran that could last several weeks. However, a report by The Washington Post, citing US officials, notes that it is still uncertain whether President Donald Trump will authorise the deployment of ground forces. These could involve coordinated raids carried out by Special Operations forces alongside conventional infantry units.
