This upcoming address comes as the military engagement involving US and Israeli forces against Iran enters its second month, according to a report by The Hill, amid new polling data indicating domestic disapproval of the ongoing hostilities.

Amidst this backdrop, President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing a strategic deployment of American personnel onto Iranian soil to secure the country's supplies of highly enriched uranium, a mission estimated to span several days.

This potential operation would likely involve elite special forces tasked with the extraction of radioactive materials.

As noted by The Hill, such a move would necessitate placing US service members deep within Iranian borders, potentially exposing them to short-range missile strikes and drone attacks from local forces.
