U.S. President Donald Trump ​told aides ‌he is willing to end ​the military ​campaign against Iran even ⁠if the ​Strait of ​Hormuz remains largely closed and leave ​a complex ​operation to reopen it ‌for ⁠a later date, the Wall Street Journal ​reported ​on ⁠Monday, citing administration officials.

The Pentagon is ‌preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, the Washington ​Post reported Saturday, ​citing U.S. officials.

The plans could ⁠involve raids by Special ​Operations and conventional infantry ​troops, the Post reported. Whether President Donald Trump would approve any ​of those plans ​remains uncertain, according to the Post.

The ‌Trump ⁠administration has deployed U.S. Marines to the Middle East as the war in ​Iran ​stretches ⁠into its fifth week, and also has ​been planning to ​send thousands ⁠of soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne to ⁠the ​region.

The foreign ministers of the G7 group of nations called ​on Friday for an immediate stop ‌to attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the Iran war.

In a joint statement agreed ​on the second day of a ​G7 meeting in France – this year’s ⁠host country – the ministers said they ​had underscored the importance of minimising the ​impact of the conflict on regional partners, civilian populations and critical infrastructure.

“We focused on the value ​of diverse partnerships, coordination, and supporting ​initiatives, including to mitigate global economic shocks such ‌as ⁠disruptions to economic, energy, fertilizer and commercial supply chains, which have direct impacts on our citizens,” they said in the ​statement seen ​by ⁠Reuters.

The ministers also reiterated the need to restore safe and ​toll-free freedom of navigation in the Strait ​of ⁠Hormuz.

The G7 members are the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and ⁠Japan, ​along with the European ​Union.
