U.S. eyes special forces infiltration ahead of potential ground assault on Kharg Island
Reports suggest the United States may deploy elite special operations forces to conduct underwater infiltration missions as a precursor to a possible amphibious landing on Iran’s strategic Kharg Island
Such an operation would likely aim to secure critical oil infrastructure and disrupt Iran’s export capacity, marking a significant shift from air and naval operations toward direct ground engagement
If confirmed, this would signal a major escalation moving the conflict into a high-risk phase of covert entry followed by overt military action
