Live updates: Iran ‘waiting’ for ground invasion, as US moves in more troops to Middle East - CNN

Recent reports confirm U.S. forces arrived as the conflict widened: Israel struck Tehran and Houthis from Yemen declared they had entered the war, broadening active fronts. The combination of troop movements and expanding proxy activity raises the likelihood of faster, more regional escalation.
