Yossi Eliezer, an Israeli analyst, reported on Telegram citing senior US security officials who say a ground invasion of Iran and seizure of government institutions is a virtually completed and unavoidable fact, with tens of thousands of US Marines and other forces participating. Israel is expected to join the campaign from the outset, according to the report. The analyst predicts the operation could begin within 10 days.
On Tuesday, analyst Yossi Eliezer reported on Telegram that senior US security officials regard a ground invasion of Iran as all but inevitable, citing the Iranian regime's actions. According to the report, tens of thousands of US Marines and forces from allied nations would participate in the operation, with Israel expected to join from the beginning. Eliezer added his own assessment that the operation could commence within ten days.
The claim follows a report earlier Tuesday, as The Zioneer covered at 09:26, in which US officials told Fox News that President Trump's expanded strikes on Iran would be significantly more powerful and that Israel is likely to participate. The Zioneer also reported at 08:12 that the US military is preparing attack options and deploying fighter jets as Trump considers wider strikes.
The possibility of a ground invasion has been alleged by Iranian officials, with Mohammad Marandi claiming on July 15 that the Trump administration planned such a move. Israeli officials have previously signaled readiness to join US strikes on Iran if requested, as reported on July 9.
The report from Eliezer remains a single-source claim, carrying the analyst's own speculation, and has not been corroborated by official US or Israeli sources.
