Trump Dismisses Iran Ground Invasion As 'Waste Of Time'; US-Israel Strikes Continue

President Trump calls a US ground invasion of Iran a ‘waste of time’ and affirms ongoing airstrikes have weakened Iran’s military, with over 1,230 casualties reported, officials said.

  • When asked about a ground invasion, Trump replied that he dismissed it as a waste of time and said an invasion is not currently being considered, while the U.S.-Israeli military campaign continues.
  • Iranian forces launched drone and missile attacks that prompted a response after a drone strike killed six U.S. troops, with Pete Hegseth saying, `But the regime sure did change, and the world is better off for it today.`
  • Israel and U.S. jets heavily bombed Tehran and Beirut as the joint campaign entered its seventh day; Israel claims near-complete air superiority and says strikes destroyed more than 80% of Iran's air defenses.
  • NATO responded by boosting missile defenses after intercepting a missile toward Turkey, while Qatar said its military intercepted a drone targeting Al Udeid airbase hosting about 8,000 to 10,000 U.S. troops.
  • President Trump said the goal is to remove Iran's theocratic leadership and that he has ideas about who should lead next, while Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is prepared for a ground assault and is not seeking a ceasefire.
