The United States is considering two ground assault plans in Iran, awaiting approval from Donald Trump. According to a report, one plan targets Kharg Island, a key oil hub. Another aims to seize “highly enriched uranium” linked to Iran’s nuclear programme. Officials warned both options are “highly risky”. Around 7,000 US troops are being moved to the region. Special forces are also on standby. The report said such action could escalate the conflict. It may not end the war or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has not made a final decision yet, as tensions remain high.
