Iran Sees US Ground Invasion Plan as Diplomacy Talks Continue

Amid the Middle East war's second month, Iran accuses the United States of secretly planning a ground invasion even as officials talk about diplomacy; US Marines have arrived in the region and planning for weeks of ground operations reportedly continues, while Iran and its allies broaden attacks on shipping and Gulf targets. The day also saw Israeli strikes that killed civilians and journalists in Lebanon, damage to a Tehran media office, and international calls for restraint and reparations as the conflict widens with Houthi involvement and other regional attacks.
