According to a media report, the United States is preparing a potential ground invasion of Iran. The Washington Post, citing anonymous U.S. officials, says the Pentagon intends to deploy troops there for several weeks. The report notes that the operation would not be a full-scale invasion; instead it would involve special‑forces operations and conventional infantry on the oil‑export vital island of Kharg. Whether President Donald Trump would approve such plans remains uncertain. Trump has previously dismissed a ground invasion as a waste of time, claiming Iran had seemingly lost everything. He has reiterated that he will not send ground troops anywhere, though he added that he would not disclose such intentions even if he were to plan them.
