The Pentagon is preparing plans for the deployment of American ground troops in Iran

Pentagon officials have begun preparations for the deployment of American ground forces in Iran, according to sources cited by CBS News. Military commanders have requested specific options in the context of the conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, while President Trump is considering possible measures. Although Trump has stated that he does not intend to send ground troops, he emphasized that the Pentagon must be prepared for any situation.

The U.S. military is planning to deploy units of the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, and thousands of Marines are already on their way to the region. These movements reflect the Pentagon's efforts to expand the military options available to the president, while Trump has stated that the U.S. has destroyed Iran's military capabilities and does not intend to negotiate a ceasefire.
