Edited [RIA] The Pentagon has prepared detailed plans for the possible deployment of ground troops to Iran to provide the Trump administration with a full range of military scenarios amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, CBS News reports, citing informed sources. "Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for the deployment of U.S. ground troops to Iran... Senior military leaders have submitted specific requests aimed at preparing for this scenario as President Trump weighs next steps in the conflict with Iran," the channel writes. Trump is currently considering deploying ground troops to the region, but the conditions under which he might order a ground operation against Iran remain unclear, the channel notes. The operational planning involves the US Army Global Response Force and Marine Expeditionary Units, the publication states. Answering reporters' questions in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump denied plans to deploy ground troops to Iran, but stressed that even if he made such a decision, he would not disclose it publicly. On February 28, the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran is carrying out retaliatory strikes on Israeli territory, as well as on US military facilities in the Middle East. Washington and Tel Aviv explained the start of the military operation as a preemptive strike and alleged threats from Tehran over its nuclear program. However, they are now no longer hiding their desire to see a change of power in Iran. |
