US and Israeli airstrikes against Iranian military, nuclear, and leadership targets have intensified since February 28, 2026, now in the conflict's sixth week with US forces reporting casualties and sinking Iranian naval vessels. Over the past 48 hours, US special operations teams conducted ground insertions inside Iran for combat search-and-rescue after an F-15 was downed, rescuing one pilot while ongoing efforts seek a second crew member west of Tehran. Pentagon deployments of Marines, the 82nd Airborne, and close air support assets signal preparations for potential escalation to larger ground operations around oil hubs like Kharg Island, amid Iranian threats of retaliation and unconfirmed US proposals for a temporary pause. Traders weigh these developments against diplomatic off-ramps and historical reluctance for full invasions.
