The U.S. has reportedly put forth a 15-point proposal to end the war in Iran — and Iran has rejected it, saying it’ll end the war and strikes on its neighbors only if a list of Iran’s own conditions are met first.

Meanwhile, NPR has learned that paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division are preparing to deploy to the Middle East, a move that could signal an escalation — and possible use of ground troops — in the war with Iran. Along with two marine expeditionary units already sailing toward the Persian Gulf, this could bring thousands of American ground troops in close proximity to Iran.

President Trump has alternately said he would not put boots on the ground and that he won’t rule it out.
