US-Iran hostilities escalated into open war on February 28, 2026, with joint US-Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities, and missile sites, prompting Iranian missile and drone barrages on US allies and bases. In the past 48 hours, US special forces reportedly entered Iranian territory on April 3 to rescue a downed F-15 pilot amid searches for another missing airman, marking the first confirmed ground incursion while seven US aircraft have been lost in five weeks of air operations. Pentagon deployments of marines and paratroopers signal preparations for potential amphibious assaults on Persian Gulf islands like Kharg to secure oil terminals, though Iran warns of fierce resistance. President Trump threatens further strikes on power plants, with trader consensus reflecting low near-term odds for large-scale troop entry absent a major provocation, ahead of possible diplomatic deadlines or rescue missions.
