PANews reported on March 29th that news of the US military's preparations for a ground operation against Iran has sparked global discussion. Unlike the full-scale invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Pentagon is this time employing a "decapitation strike" tactic—avoiding territorial occupation and a protracted war, targeting Kharg Island, Iran's oil lifeline, in an attempt to replicate the glory of the 1991 Gulf War with a "swift victory in weeks." But can the US military's "old dream" truly become a reality this time? Multiple international media outlets and think tanks have warned that blindly believing in the myth of "destroying Iran in 42 days" could plunge the US into a new strategic quagmire.
