US EditionAmerican Boots On Ground In Iran By This Date? Here's What Prediction Market Is Saying
The White House says ground troops are not currently planned but keeps the option open as airstrikes target nearly 2,000 Iranian sites and six U.S. soldiers have died.
- On Wednesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said ground troops are 'not part of the plan' but remain an option, keeping the ground-invasion open.
- Since Saturday, U.S. and Israeli forces have struck nearly 2,000 Iranian military sites and killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, with the White House saying the operation aimed to head off a possible Iranian strike on U.S. personnel.
- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth credited strikes including the sinking of an Iranian warship, and the White House said six U.S. soldiers were killed with plans for their dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base.
- The Senate is expected to vote on a war powers resolution after U.S.-Israeli strikes, with social media users and lawmakers urging disengagement and opposing funding, following Leavitt's remarks.
- Critics warn an invasion would be "another costly and bloody quagmire," with Iran over 3.5 times Iraq’s population and nearly four times larger, while 61% of Americans viewed Iran as an "enemy" before the strikes.
