Israel Plans Weeks-Long Campaign Against Iran, Unlikely to Deploy Ground Forces

The Israeli military has prepared for a campaign against Iran expected to last several weeks, with the possibility of duration changes based on developments, according to Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani. He indicated that deploying ground forces to Iran is unlikely at this time. Since February 27, Israel and the U.S. have conducted air strikes on Iran, prompting Iranian retaliation. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu noted the conflict may take some time but not years.
