US-Israel war on Iran: What’s happening on day 31 of attacks

The US and Israel are 31 days into military operations against Iran, with American troops deploying to the region amid uncertainty about the campaign's scope and duration. Though President Trump has publicly discussed diplomatic solutions, military planners are preparing for a potential ground invasion, signaling the conflict may expand beyond current air and missile strikes. The troop movements underscore the scale of the operation and rising tensions over whether the campaign will remain limited or escalate into a broader regional conflict. Iran has not yet launched a major retaliatory strike, leaving open questions about how the standoff will develop. The deployment reflects the Trump administration's positioning for multiple contingencies as diplomatic and military tracks run in parallel.
