The United States is preparing for possible ground operations in Iran as the war enters its fifth week. Reports say plans include raids near the Strait of Hormuz and on Kharg Island, a key oil hub. Officials said the operations may last weeks, but no final decision has been made. President Donald Trump has not yet approved the plan. The US has also sent 3,500 Marines to the region, marking a major military buildup. Officials said the aim is to target weapons and secure shipping routes. However, concerns remain about protecting troops if they seize and hold Iranian territory.
