Iranian sources express concern that the United States may escalate its campaign and launch a surprise ground operation in Iran, following a series of US airstrikes on military targets and the escalating conflict around the Strait of Hormuz.
The report, attributed to Iranian sources, reflects growing anxiety in Tehran over the possibility of a US ground operation, after weeks of American airstrikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure. The United States has struck air defense systems, naval assets, and other targets in southern Iran, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial shipping. The Zioneer has previously reported on these strikes and on assessments of Iranian retaliation. The current assessment, however, comes from a single unverified channel and has not been independently confirmed.
