Israel unlikely to deploy ground forces to Iran, weeks-long campaign planned

Israel's military says it is preparing for a campaign against Iran that could last weeks, but ground forces deployment is unlikely, focusing on air power and limited ground actions if needed.

Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told reporters in an online briefing that the operation could span a 'general scope of weeks' and that the duration may change with developments. He stressed there is no practical plan to send troops into Iran at this moment.

The march of events has seen American and Israeli air strikes against Iranian targets since February 27, with Iran responding in kind. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated the conflict could take some time but would not last years.

International observers and outlets have noted the fluid nature of the crisis, with talks and assessments continuing about possible additional steps, including but not limited to ground action.

Analysts say the emphasis remains on air campaigns, intelligence-driven operations, and diplomacy, as both sides weigh risk and potential escalation.
