Retired Gen. Frank McKenzie, the former commander of U.S. Central Command (Centcom), revealed that the US military has been planning ground raid plans in Iran for years. This comes as President Trump reportedly considers sending troops into the war. McKenzie suggested that seizing islands along the southern coast of Iran could significantly impact Iran's oil industry. The Department of Defense is reportedly preparing plans for ground operations lasting for weeks in Iran, which may involve Special Operations and regular infantry troops. Despite this, McKenzie believes that the U.K. could achieve some level of success without a ground component to its operations in Iran.
