US lawmakers responded to reports that the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, as thousands of US troops assemble in the Middle East and the conflict showed signs of entering a new, more dangerous phase.
Officials told the Washington Post that a ground operation in Iran could be limited to raids by special operations forces and infantry troops, but it was unclear whether Donald Trump would approve any of the Pentagons plans.
James Lankford, a Republican senator, told NBCs Meet the Press that he had not ruled out supporting troops on the ground but that weve got to be able to know what the objectives are and what theyre actually carrying out.
Lankford, who serves on the Senates intelligence committee, said it was important to finish the job but know what boots were putting on the ground.
