Potential U.S. Military Ground Deployment in Iran
The Bottom Line
President Trump has joined Israel in launching military strikes against Iran, and a Navy warship carrying 2,000 Marines has recently entered the region. While the President denies he will start a ground war, 65% of Americans expect one to happen even though only 7% of the public supports it. This escalation moves the U.S. closer to a large-scale conflict that most citizens do not want.
