Middle East War: US Ground Operations Prepare – Live Updates

Iran accuses Washington of preparing a ground attack

The speaker of Iran’s Parliament on Sunday accused the United States of “secretly” planning a ground offensive, while publicly leading diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.

American President Donald Trump has maintained a certain ambiguity about this possibility for several weeks.

According to the Washington Post, which cited anonymous American officials on Saturday, the Pentagon is indeed preparing for ground operations lasting several weeks.
