According to NBC: In private talks, Trump expressed a serious interest in bringing U.S. ground forces into Iranian territory. According to the report, he discussed this possibility with aides and Republican officials outside the White House. Sources involved in the talks said that the president’s remarks did not focus on a large-scale invasion but on the possibility of deploying a small force of troops for specific strategic purposes.
According to NBC, Trump outlined Iran on the day after the war, when Iran’s uranium is in a safe place and the new Iranian regime will cooperate with the United States in oil production, similar to the current dynamic with Venezuela. According to the report, for Trump, the result for him in Iran is reminiscent of the dynamic that has been developing between the United States and Venezuela since American special forces kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro in January. Since then, the United States has backed the new president, Delcy Rodriguez, on the condition that she implements the policy that Trump sees as good for him, including benefiting from the country’s oil production.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi addressed the possibility of foreign forces entering Iran this week, against the backdrop of reports that the Kurds from Iraq are preparing for such an operation, declaring: “We are waiting for them. We are confident in the ability to confront them, and it will be a great disaster for the Americans. Iran has prepared itself to deal with every possible scenario.”
White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said the report was incorrect but that all options were open
The NBC report is similar to Trump’s interview with the New York Post earlier this week, in which he stated that he had “no concerns about bringing in ground troops.” He noted that while other presidents have denied this, he is willing to use force if necessary.
Trump also said, similar to the messages he already conveyed this week, that “Our army is functioning phenomenally. People are very impressed with our army. I think our country is now a country that is more respected than ever before.”
It seems that the crazy megalomaniac from Washington suffers from hallucinations and changes his plans every day. There are already demonstrations in the US against the war and with more dead American soldiers he will lose his majority in the Senate in the mid-term election.
