The Pentagon is preparing plans for ground operations in Iran that could last weeks, marking a significant escalation as the war enters its fifth week. According to US officials, the operations would fall short of a full scale invasion but could involve a combination of special operations forces and conventional infantry troops conducting raids on Iranian coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz and potentially seizing Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub.
Thousands of Marines and soldiers, including units from the 82nd Airborne, have already been deployed to the region, with roughly 3,500 additional troops arriving on March 27. President Trump has not yet approved the plans, and the White House has said that preparation does not mean a decision has been made.
Since the conflict began on February 28, the US has lost 13 service members and seen over 300 wounded in retaliatory attacks across at least seven countries in the Middle East. Military analysts have warned that any ground mission would expose American forces to Iranian drones, missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosives on a scale far more dangerous than the air campaign so far.
