US weighing ground assaults inside Iran – The Atlantic
US military officials are planning potential ground assaults inside Iran, including targeting Kharg Island and seizing enriched uranium sites, the Atlantic reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The report said the operations would require approval from US President Donald Trump and would involve deploying troops on Iranian territory.
Those familiar with the options said putting US troops inside Iran would rank among the most dangerous missions of Trump’s presidency and warned the operations would not necessarily end the war quickly or secure broader objectives such as regime collapse or reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The plans come as thousands of additional US troops arrive in the region.
