Reports say US preparing for possible ground operation in Iran

Multiple reports indicate U.S. officials are preparing for a possible ground operation in Iran that could last for weeks. The planning reportedly includes scenarios for raids near the Strait of Hormuz and seizing Kharg Island.

In response, Iranian officials have issued warnings against any U.S. ground assault. Meanwhile, analyst Trita Parsi called a potential ground attack "complete insanity," and Senator Marco Rubio stated that while a conflict with Iran might last weeks, he believes no U.S. ground troops would be needed.
