Ground options under consideration as U.S. eyes Iran conflict

The U.S. is weighing potential ground operations in Iran, with discussions of deploying up to 10,000 additional troops as Tehran’s IRGC remains capable despite attrition. Israel has struck IRGC leadership, while Iran continues attacks around the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. and allied strikes have degraded many Iranian missile, drone, and shipyard facilities, but experts warn Iran could still mount significant attacks and maintain reserves; a ground escalation could threaten U.S. forces, particularly near Kharg Island, and measuring capability by launch rates may not capture ongoing risk.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they have taken control of a Hamas military stronghold in the northern Gaza Strip, uncovering anti-tank missiles, launchers, weapons, and intelligence materials.

The war is expected to be long and difficult, but it remains unclear if this escalation marks the start of a major ground incursion.

Israeli Troops Escalate Operations in Gaza, Prompting Darkness and Warning to Palestinians

Israeli troops have remained on the ground in the Gaza Strip, marking a significant escalation in the conflict with Hamas. This comes after several days of limited incursions, with Saturday's announcement being the first extended presence of Israeli troops in the territory. The ground operation was supported by heavy air bombardment and attacks from the sea. The intensifying military operations have led to a near-total outage of internet and phone service in Gaza, making it difficult for aid groups to contact local staff. Concerns are growing about deteriorating conditions in Gaza, with shortages of food, water, fuel, and electricity already severe.
