After a similar statement this morning from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, President Trump told the New York Post in a quick interview on Monday that he would not rule out sending American ground troops into Iran, stating, “I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground. Every President says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it.” President Trump added that he “probably” doesn’t need to send ground troops but that he is open to the possibility “if they were necessary.”
