The Pentagon is preparing for a weeks-long ground operation in Iran

BlockBeats News, March 29, according to The Washington Post, U.S. officials say the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran. With thousands of American soldiers and Marines arriving in the Middle East, a decision by President Trump to escalate the conflict could usher in a dangerous new phase of the war. Any potential ground operation would not be a full-scale invasion but may involve joint assaults by special operations forces and conventional infantry troops. Such missions could expose American personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosive devices. As of Saturday, it remains unclear whether Trump will approve or reject all or part of the Pentagon's plans.

According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of the U.S. military entering Iran by the end of this month is 11%, and by the end of April is 62%.
