Pentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, Washington Post reports

The Pentagon is ‌preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, the Washington Post reported Saturday, citing U.S. officials.

The plans could ⁠involve raids by Special Operations and conventional infantry troops, the Post reported. Whether President Donald Trump would approve any of those plans remains uncertain, according to the Post.

The ‌Trump ⁠administration has deployed U.S. Marines to the Middle East as the war in Iran stretches ⁠into its fifth week, and also has been planning to send thousands ⁠of soldiers from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne to ⁠the region.
