What is the likelihood of the United States pushing for ground combat?
According to the report by the Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Trump said on March 7 that sending ground troops to Iran is "possible", but there must be "very compelling reasons" to do so. On that day, the bodies of six U.S. soldiers killed in the retaliation in Iran were sent back to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where Trump went to receive and mourn them. After the ceremony, Trump flew to Miami on Air Force One and answered questions from reporters about sending ground troops. Analysts believe that the current situation in the U.S. is a dilemma: if the current operation ends without obtaining this batch of highly enriched uranium stockpile, it will accelerate Iran's nuclear ambitions; but to obtain this batch of highly enriched uranium stockpile, the deployment of U.S. or Israeli ground troops is necessary, and this process faces many difficulties, such as Iran's terrain not being suitable for ground operations and opposition within the U.S. Currently, the U.S. government has not made a final decision on sending ground troops to Iran. However, Iran has repeatedly warned about the possibility of a ground invasion by the U.S. Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Larry Rajavi, wrote on social media on the 5th that if the U.S. military invades Iran, they will face a "thousands of casualties and captives" outcome. On the same day, Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi said in an interview with NBC that Iran is ready to counter any U.S. invasion. "We are waiting for them," Aragchi said, "because we are confident in standing up to them, which will be a disaster for them."
