How the call settles
No US ground invasion of Iran or US occupation of Iranian territory occurs in the 2026 Iran confrontation
Our reasoning

Ground operations (e.g. seizing Kharg Island) remained in the planning/hypothetical stage as late as July 24, 2026.. Applied stored rule: No US ground invasion of Iran or US occupation of Iranian territory occurs in the 2026 Iran confrontation.
