"Donald Trump is hellbent on escalating his reckless war and is now considering putting U.S. boots on the ground in Iran. The American people do not want more war in the Middle East. No boots on the ground. No more war."
"I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground. Like every president says, 'There will be no boots on the ground.' I don't say it. I say, 'probably don't need them,' [or] 'if they were necessary.'"
"Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying US troops on the ground inside of Iran, according to NBC News reporting which cited unnamed sources familiar with the conversations regarding the military attack now entering its second week of destructive and deadly operations."
Reports indicate President Trump has privately expressed serious interest in deploying American soldiers on the ground in Iran during ongoing military operations. Trump stated he does not rule out ground troops if necessary, contrasting with typical presidential rhetoric against boots on the ground. Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, strongly condemned the potential escalation, calling it reckless and madness. Schumer emphasized that Americans oppose further Middle East warfare and demanded no ground troops deployment. The White House disputed the reporting's accuracy, though Trump himself confirmed his openness to ground deployment if deemed necessary.
