US President Donald Trump said he does not plan to send American troops for a ground operation against Iran. He made the remarks during a joint White House press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, which was broadcast live.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was not sending troops anywhere. He added that even if such a decision were made, he would not announce it publicly in advance. His comments appeared to push back against growing speculation about a wider US military role in the region.
Earlier, Reuters reported that the US administration was discussing the possible deployment of thousands of military personnel to the Middle East as part of efforts to strengthen operations there. That report fueled questions about whether Washington was preparing for a larger confrontation involving Iran.
Trump also claimed that Iran was looking for new leaders because its previous leadership was "no longer there." He further said that the country’s navy and air force had been destroyed. His statements are likely to add to tensions as uncertainty continues over the scale of any future US action in the region.
