U.S. military officials are developing strategies for potential ground operations in Iran that could last several weeks, according to a Saturday report from the Washington Post citing government sources.
The proposed military strategies would include missions conducted by both Special Operations forces and regular infantry units, the newspaper reported. However, it remains unclear whether President Donald Trump would give his approval for any such operations, the Post noted.
The current administration has already sent U.S. Marines to the Middle East region as the Iranian conflict enters its fifth week of fighting, and military leaders are also making arrangements to deploy thousands of soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne division to the area.
