Republicans in the US Congress are actively discussing the launch of a possible ground military operation against Iran, as reported by WSJ journalist Alex Ward. The operation is planned, and one of its main targets may be Hark Island, which handles about 90% of Iranian oil exports. Despite Donald Trump’s statements that the conflict is close to ending, he does not rule out the entry of troops into Iran.
There is currently no unified position in the White House. Part of Trump’s entourage is demanding a change of government in Tehran, while others are wary of a long and bloody war. President Trump is still deciding, weighing increased pressure against the risk of more American military casualties.
