US President Trump ordered deployment of ground troops in Strait of Hormuz

US War Strategy in Iran Could Involve Ground Invasion

The United States may consider using ground forces to capture territory in Iran, according to Kenneth Katzman, a senior fellow at the Soufan Center for Strategic Dialogue.

Katzman stated that certain US war objectives in Iran cannot be achieved through air power alone. In such cases, a limited ground invasion could potentially meet those objectives.

It is worth noting that the Strait of Hormuz, an important waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, has been a point of contention between the US and Iran. Katzman’s comments suggest that the US may consider taking control of this strategic location through military action.

Katzman’s statement implies that if the US begins capturing territory in Iran, the situation could become increasingly complex and unpredictable. The exact nature and scope of any potential ground invasion remain unclear at this time.

The Soufan Center for Strategic Dialogue is a non-partisan think tank that provides analysis on global security issues. Katzman’s comments provide insight into the possible military strategies being considered by the US in its dealings with Iran.
