NBC: Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran

Trump has privately considered deploying a small U.S. troop contingent to Iran to secure uranium and support cooperation with a new government, with no final decision made.

  • On Friday, NBC News reported Trump privately discussed deploying a small contingent of U.S. troops to Iran for specific missions, citing U.S. officials.
  • Discussing post-war Iran, aides and Republican officials described a vision to secure uranium and cooperate on oil production, as part of broader planning.
  • Online critics reacted swiftly after the report, with Tommy Vietor and Dylan Williams warning the move risks deeper entanglement and social-media posts comparing it to a quagmire.
  • Responding to the report, Karoline Leavitt said `President Trump always, wisely keeps all options open, but anyone trying to insinuate he is in favor of one option or another proves they have no real seat at the table.`
  • No final decisions were announced, and James Comer said earlier this week that U.S. troops in Iran may be unavoidable, according to NBC.
