There are several reports from recent hours of US Special Operations & the IRGC exchanging gunfire in the Khuzestan province in Iran. US air assets are reportedly being spotted over the region. I will update this later

I do not think we have boots on the ground quite yet. None in Iran’s territory atleast

Troops are gathering in the region though. The marines on USS Tripoli did an amphibious assault simulation on Diego Garcia

I mean no disrespect, but who do you know who A, actually has the level of knowledge to say that, and B, would so easily violate OPSEC by telling you

I’m not fighting with you. But at this point the only boots on the ground, if any, would be SOF. So you’ve either been communicating with special operations personnel or high-level command staff who violated OPSEC by giving you this information, or you were lied to by someone who wants to sound like they have an inside scoop

Because right now, the only instance of boots on the ground would be AFPJs and any other special operators conducing a rescue mission for the downed pilot. That and literal CIA assets. You understand what I’m getting at

I’m sure you have people telling you this. What I’m getting at is that they either don’t know what they’re talking about, or you have a personal relationship with some extremely high-level defense and intelligence officials

No worries, I get it. The gist is that you’re almost certainly being misled by people who don’t actually have the knowledge they claim to have.

OPSEC ain’t exactly our strong suit right now 😂😂. I’d bet #3’s friends are exaggerating or the boots on the ground term is just being misinterpreted. We have no uniformed soldiers on the ground in Iran.
