Trader consensus on low odds for US ground forces entering Iran stems from Washington's firm policy of defensive support for Israel without direct offensive engagement, as seen in recent interceptions of Iranian missiles during Israel's October 26 strikes on Iranian military sites. Those limited Israeli actions avoided nuclear facilities and oil infrastructure, prompting Iran's restrained response and vows of non-escalation. No US official statements indicate invasion plans, amid broader Middle East tensions involving Hezbollah and Houthis. The November 5 presidential election looms as a potential policy pivot, while diplomatic channels remain open via Qatar and Oman.
