Amid the US-Iran war that began with joint US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026, recent Iranian missile attacks on US bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar—wounding dozens to hundreds of troops within the past day—have spurred reinforcements, including the USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship carrying 3,500 Marines entering the US Central Command area and Pentagon deliberations on deploying up to 17,000 more elite forces like the 82nd Airborne. No US ground troops have entered Iranian territory, with operations limited to airstrikes and naval actions; Tehran warns of "surprises" for any invasion amid rejected 15-point US diplomatic demands. Key traders watch for escalation signals, such as further troop concentrations or Houthi proxy involvement, ahead of potential ground phase decisions.
