U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said Sunday that President Trump has not ruled out sending ground forces into Iran, but stressed that any such deployment would be nothing like past U.S. wars in the region. Waltz made the remarks during appearances on Fox News Sunday and NBC’s Meet the Press.
“The Pentagon’s job — Secretary Hegseth, Chairman Dan Caine — is to provide options to the President, to have forces that are trained, equipped, in position, and ready for whatever he chooses to do as Commander-in-Chief. President Trump is never going to take options off the table,” Waltz said.
“This isn’t going to be another 2003 Iraq,” the ambassador said. “There are not going to be hundreds of thousands of troops occupying urban areas somewhere, certainly not Tehran.” Waltz also reiterated that the president’s fundamental objective remains ensuring Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. It will be recalled that the United States and Israel launched a joint military operation against Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
