Donald Trump stated that he does not rule out a prolonged war against Iran and left open the possibility of deploying ground troops if the situation requires it. His remarks come amid growing military escalation following airstrikes and responses from Tehran.
Although the operation was initially described as short-term, the president indicated that its duration will depend on how events unfold on the ground and on Washington’s strategic objectives. Analysts warn that any deployment of ground forces would mark a new phase in the conflict, carrying greater political and military risks.
Regional tensions continue to rise as the international community closely watches the potential impact on Middle East stability and global markets.
Does this mean an immediate invasion is coming?
Not necessarily. Trump said it remains an option on the table, but any decision will depend on military and strategic conditions in the coming weeks.
The situation remains fluid and could reshape the geopolitical balance in the region.
