The war launched by the United States and its ally Israel against Iran may soon expand to include ground operations, according to news reports. An operation like this could involve troops entering heavily-fortified underground sites where the uranium is believed to be stored. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had earlier hinted at the possibility of a ground offensive during a congressional briefing on the Iran conflict. The Trump administration has reportedly looked at two options: taking out the uranium from Iran altogether or sending nuclear specialists to dilute it on site. The war began last week as a US-Israeli airstrike killed Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
