U.S. anti-cartel operation outside of the U.S. by July 31?

With only about two days left and no visible signals, direct U.S. ground or kinetic anti-cartel action outside the U.S. by July 31 is probably not happening but remains genuinely possible.

No evidence shows a direct U.S. anti-cartel operation on foreign soil within the window, and only about two days remain. Washington is focused on Middle East strikes and has favored sanctions and designations over kinetic cartel action; Mexico has explicitly rejected joint ground operations. These constraints make sudden action implausible, but a covert rapid strike or surprise disclosure is genuinely possible in principle. Persistence dominates, with a modest tail for unobserved action.
