President Donald Trump has yet to approve any of the Department of War’s invasion plans, according to the Washington Post
The US Department of War is reportedly drafting plans for weeks of potential ground operations in Iran, despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that Tehran has already lost the month-long war and is begging for a deal to surrender.
Any ground mission would not be a “full-scale invasion,” but rather limited raids by Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, several US officials who spoke with the Washington Post on condition of anonymity have insisted.
Potential objectives could include the seizure of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub, or raids into coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to destroy weapons capable of targeting commercial and military shipping.
President Trump has yet to approve any of the Department of War’s plans. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it is the Pentagon’s role to make preparations to provide the commander in chief with “maximum optionality.”
