The United States is ramping up its military deployment in the Middle East, aiming to acquire the necessary capabilities for a potential ground operation in Iran as early as next week, according to American sources cited by i24NEWS. This escalation comes amid increasing tensions with Tehran, as diplomatic efforts appear increasingly uncertain.
“All options are on the table,” stated a source close to the matter, emphasizing that the final decision will rest with President Donald Trump. Behind the scenes, several American officials have reportedly warned that a lack of diplomatic progress could lead to an escalation, explicitly including a ground intervention.
In the coming days, thousands of Marines and paratroopers are expected to be deployed in the area under the responsibility of the US Central Command (CENTCOM). Concurrently, the administration is considering sending an additional 10,000 infantry soldiers, significantly strengthening the American military presence in the region.
Among the studied options is the seizure of Iran’s Kharg oil region, a strategic infrastructure for the country’s energy exports. Targeted operations could also be conducted along the Iranian coasts, near the Strait of Hormuz, to prevent any attacks against ships and tankers passing through this vital maritime route for global trade.
These scenarios reflect a potentially limited but high-risk strategy, aiming to contain Iranian capabilities without engaging in total war. It remains to be seen if the White House will cross the threshold of a ground intervention, a decision that could reshape the regional balance in the days to come.
