WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday (Mar 2) said he is not ruling out sending US troops into Iran, while threatening a new, “big wave” of attacks.
The 79-year-old Republican has long campaigned against decades of US military entanglements in the Middle East, but ordered a large-scale war against Iran starting Saturday.
While so far the assault has focused entirely on aerial attacks by missiles and bombs, Trump refused to rule out sending ground troops – something far riskier in terms of possible casualties.
