US-Iran-Israel War LIVE Updates: Pentagon Signals Ground Action Amid IRGC Threat To American, Israeli University Campuses In Gulf

US-Iran War LIVE Updates: As the Middle East tensions reached a new peak on Day 30 of the conflict, The US weighs the deployment of 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, the USS Tripoli has already arrived with 3,500 sailors and Marines on board to bolster the current presence. Yemen-based Houthi rebels launched two missiles at Israel. Simultaneously, Iran permitted 20 Pakistani vessels to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting Pakistan’s role as a regional mediator. In a significant escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared that US and Israeli-affiliated universities in the region are now legitimate targets. This move is a direct retaliation for recent strikes against Iranian academic and research centers, such as the Iran University of Science and Technology in Tehran. The IRGC has issued a warning for all personnel and residents to stay at least one kilometer away from these campuses. The IRGC further demanded that the United States officially condemn the attacks on Iranian institutions by March 30. They warned that if these conditions are not met, or if allied forces continue to target Iranian research centers, the scope of their retaliation will expand beyond the initial two targets. This threat places several high-profile Gulf-based campuses at risk, including Texas A&M and Northwestern in Qatar, as well as New York University in the United Arab Emirates.
