The Pentagon is reportedly preparing for a potential ground operation against Iran, which could extend from several weeks to a couple of months. Sources indicate that such an undertaking would not constitute a full-scale invasion, but rather a series of targeted raids carried out jointly by special operations forces and conventional infantry units.
This prospective operation carries substantial risks for American military personnel, including threats ranging from drone strikes to intense ground fire. As of now, it remains uncertain whether U.S. President Donald Trump will approve any of the plans proposed by the Department of Defense.
Previous efforts by the United States and Israel to execute a swift operation against Iran have not been successful. Experts and officials have warned that embarking on such a ground operation could lead to a difficult and protracted conflict, potentially mirroring the unfortunate experience of the Vietnam War for the United States.
