DEFENSE
President Donald Trump has not ruled out deploying U.S. ground troops in Iran if necessary, despite the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, which targets Iranian missile sites and suspected nuclear infrastructure. Trump stated that he prefers to keep all options available and emphasized the importance of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The operation is reportedly progressing faster than expected, with significant Iranian leadership casualties. Trump reiterated that decisions will be based on national security rather than political considerations, maintaining a strategy of deterrence and maximum flexibility in response to evolving threats.
