'Desperate' Trump Orders Ground Ops After Air & Naval Missions Turn Into Dud? ‘Troops Must…’

Are American boots headed for Iranian soil? In an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, President Donald Trump fundamentally escalated the Persian Gulf crisis by refusing to rule out a ground invasion of Iran. Trump explicitly revealed that if U.S. forces degrade Tehran's defensive positions "far enough and deep enough," he would consider a ground operation to capture Kharg Island—the energy hub handling 90% of Iran's crude exports. However, in a stunning strategic twist, Trump added, "we have other people that will do the ground campaign for us." Watch the breakdown of Trump’s ground war threat, who those proxy forces might be, and Iran's furious response. #breakingnews #bootsontheground #trump #iranwar #khargisland #groundinvasion #militarystrategy #middleeastconflict #pentagon Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
