Pentagon Considers Week-Long Ground Operation in Iran Targeting Strait of Hormuz
Share:
The Pentagon is secretly considering a week-long ground operation in Iran that would include attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and target Khark Island, according to reports. The military plans involve potential ground forces deployed for an extended period in Iranian territory. Such operations could dramatically escalate tensions in the strategically vital Persian Gulf region, where the Strait of Hormuz serves as a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, handling about one-fifth of the world's petroleum traffic.
