President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is not ruling out sending U.S. ground troops to Iran if Tehran does not make a deal over reopening the Hormuz Strait by a Tuesday deadline.
“No,” Trump told The Hill in a phone interview when he was asked if he would rule out sending ground troops to Iran, also saying that no civilian infrastructure targets would be ruled out.
