As the war between the USA, Israel, and Iran continues with all its intensity, a striking statement came from US President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of a ground operation in Iran. Trump stated that considering the option of sending US ground troops to Iran at this stage would be a "waste of time."

Speaking by phone to the US broadcaster NBC, Trump claimed that Iran has suffered significant losses in the war, saying, "This is a waste of time. They have lost everything. They have lost their navy. They have lost everything they could lose."

RESPONSE TO ARAKCHI'S WORDS: EMPTY COMMENT

Trump also dismissed the warning from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi that sending foreign ground troops to Iran would be a disaster for the invaders. The US President described Arakchi's remarks as "an empty comment."

TENSIONS ESCALATE

Trump's statements came at a time when conflicts in the Middle East are increasingly escalating and mutual attacks between Iran and Israel continue. Developments in the region also bring discussions about whether the war will spread to a broader front.
