[The U.S. Military Plans Ground Operations, Iran Warns of Retaliation, Pakistan Proposes Mediation] BlockBeats News, March 30: A U.S. official stated that by early next week, there will be sufficient forces to carry out significant ground operations against Iran. Meanwhile, another U.S. official, when asked whether ground operations would be launched and what form they might take, said: "All options are on the table." On March 29 local time, Israel's Channel 12, citing anonymous security sources, reported that Israel plans to "invite the U.S. to relocate some of its military bases in the Middle East to Israel and establish new bases in Israel" after the current conflict ends. The report stated that Israel sees this as an opportunity to "reshape" the U.S. military presence in the Middle East. Recently, Israel has demonstrated its "value as a core ally of the U.S."—"Israel not only provides stability but also critical operational and intelligence capabilities. Establishing U.S. military bases in Israel would create strategic advantages for both sides." On March 29 local time, a spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of Iran's armed forces stated that, in response to recent attacks, Iran will target the residences of relevant U.S. and Israeli military and political personnel. The spokesperson said this move is a retaliatory measure against attacks on multiple residential areas in Iran. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Bagheri said that the proposals submitted to Iran by the U.S. through mediators are extremely extreme and unreasonable. Last Sunday, Pakistan announced that it is preparing to host "meaningful talks" in the coming days to resolve the conflict surrounding Iran. Nevertheless, Tehran has previously accused the U.S. of seeking negotiations while simultaneously planning ground offensives. The U.S. State Department and the White House have yet to respond to requests regarding the potential talks in Pakistan. Informed sources revealed that preliminary discussions among Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt have focused on proposals to resume shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
