Pentagon officials have made detailed preparations for deploying US ground forces into Iran, according to a CBS report.The report says Trump is deliberating whether to position ground forces in the region."No, I'm not putting troops anywhere," Trump said yesterday but quickly added: "If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you."I wonder why this was leaked. I tend to think it might be something to bring Iran to the negotiating table but it could also be from those who think sending troops to the Middle East is a grave mistake.Finally, it could all be part of the usual planning and options that all military officials are constantly doing. So far, the reports we have are that two units of Marines have been deployed, with about 2200 soldiers each. The first should arrive in the theatre from Japan on Sunday or early next week while the second is roughly three weeks away as it sails from California.
