BlockBeats News, March 29, according to The Washington Post, U.S. officials said the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground combat in Iran. With thousands of American troops and Marines arriving in the Middle East, an escalation of the war, if President Trump chooses, could mark a dangerous new phase in the conflict. Any potential ground operation would not be a full-scale invasion but would likely involve joint raids by special operations forces and conventional infantry units. Such missions could expose American personnel to a range of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground firepower, and improvised explosive devices. As of Saturday, it is unclear whether Trump will approve or veto all or part of the Pentagon’s plans.
According to PolyBeats monitoring, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of the U.S. military entering Iran by the end of this month is 11%, and by the end of April is 62%.
