Times of Israel: Trump Leans Towards Ground Operation Against Iran

According to a report in the Times of Israel, President Trump appears to be leaning towards a large-scale ground operation against Iran, believing that Tehran will yield to pressure. The US has already sent thousands of troops to the region and plans to seize the Iranian island of Khark. However, other officials warn that holding the island will be difficult and require more troops and prolonged fighting. Iran, according to the same sources, is not expected to surrender, regardless of a potential ground operation. Trump has postponed the deadline he set for Iran to agree to a 15-point proposal.
