Probable targets and timelines are named.
The Pentagon is preparing for possible ground operations in Iran that could last several weeks, depending on US President Donald Trump's decision.
The Washington Post reports.
Preparing for a new phase of conflict
The US is considering scenarios for further escalation in the Middle East. According to sources, thousands of US military and marines are already being transferred to the region.
The matter is about preparations for a potential operation, which could become the next phase of the conflict, if the White House decides to do so.
It is emphasized that the actions under discussion do not imply a full-scale invasion.
The format of a possible operation
According to officials, it could be a limited raid involving special operations forces and conventional infantry units.
These actions are seen as a more flexible format of military intervention.
It is noted that even with this approach, the U.S. military could face serious threats, including drone and missile attacks, fire from ground positions and the use of improvised explosive devices.
White House position
The Donald Trump administration has been showing mixed signals in recent days - from statements about the desire to end the conflict to warnings of possible escalation.
White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt emphasized that the Pentagon's preparations are aimed at expanding options for the president.
"The Pentagon's job is to make preparations to give the commander in chief as much freedom of choice as possible. It does not mean the president has made a decision."
She said earlier that if Tehran gives up its nuclear ambitions, Trump is "ready to unleash hell" against Iran.
Possible Targets and Timelines
Sources said the administration has discussed the option of taking control of Kharg Island.
The timing of the potential operation is estimated variously, ranging from a few weeks to several months.
The US had earlier handed Iran a list of 15 demands, including arms restrictions, an end to support for proxy groups and recognition of Israel.
