Pentagon officials have prepared for potential deployment of U.S. ground forces in Iran, sources told CBS News. Senior commanders submitted requests for positioning troops as President Trump considers moves in the U.S.-Israel-led conflict. The military is readying the 82nd Airborne Division, the Army’s Global Response Force, and Marine Expeditionary Units, with thousands of Marines and three warships already en route. The White House stressed planning does not indicate a decision to deploy troops. Trump told reporters he is not currently sending forces but would not disclose plans if he were.
