Pentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran

WASHINGTON, Mar 29: The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of limited ground operations in Iran, potentially  including raids on Kharg Island and coastal sites near the Strait of Hormuz, according to United States officials quoted by The Washington Post newspaper.

The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, the Post reported on Saturday, exposing US personnel to Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosives.

Whether President Donald Trump would approve any of those plans remains uncertain, according to the report.
