Gate News reports that on March 7, U.S. sources revealed that President Trump privately expressed strong interest in deploying U.S. ground forces inside Iran. The sources said Trump discussed the idea of deploying ground troops to Iran with aides and Republican officials, but the focus of the plan was not a large-scale invasion, rather a small-scale deployment of U.S. troops to achieve specific strategic objectives. The sources also stated that Trump has not made any decisions or issued any orders regarding ground forces. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded in a statement that these sources are not members of the U.S. president’s national security team.
