Netanyahu insists on ground troops in Iran war; Trump refuses
Israeli PM Netanyahu asserts ground forces essential to topple Iranian regime, rejecting air strikes alone. "You don't want to replace one Ayatollah with another Ayatollah," he stated, emphasizing revolutions require ground components. "You can't do revolutions from air," he added, refusing to disclose options. In contrast, President Trump declared, "I'm not deploying troops anywhere," while confirming Pentagon's $200B war funding request to Congress. A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 65% of Americans expect troop deployment, but only 7% support it.
