President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shown discussing potential ground invasion of Iran
Contrary to earlier media reports at the time decapitating the Iranian regime by assassinating its Supreme Leader Ali Khamanei, which did occur on the first day of the Israeli US war on Iran February 28, 2026, would force the regime to collapse. That of course did not happen.
Instead Iranian higher authorities met and voted for a new supreme leader namely Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Ali Khamenei.
What this does is confirm the resilience of the Iranian system that was overlooked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Trump who believed the Iranian regime would collapse with Ali Khamenei's demise along with the hard hitting assault by Israeli and US air power.
Meanwhile the Iranian's have not stood idly by. They have retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz to its adversaries and limiting passage only to those countries that oppose the aggression by Israel and the US. Iran has sent missiles and drones attacking US base sites in the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait as well as Israel's Tel Aviv and other cities.
What is most worrying is the latest from the New York Times and Washington Post, which according US officials, "the Pentagon has officially issued orders for around 2,000 elite troops from the army's 82nd Airborne Division to deploy within 'striking distance' of Iran." [1]
"An additional 2,500 marines are scheduled to arrive later this week to reinforce a potential ground operation, which the media has long speculated could include seizing Iran's main oil export hub on Kharg Island".
A "senior Iranian military adviser dared the US military to 'come closer' saying Iranian armed forces have trained in asymmetrical warfare for decades".
If the US actually attacks Iran with ground troops it will very likely be disastrous for Trump and his administration on many fronts.
Firstly most Americans are opposed to Trump's war on Iran and their opposition will only grow if he sends ground troops into the war.
Secondly when more US troops are killed, beyond the 11 or so admittedly killed as per the Pentagon, and when some of those troops are killed, captured and held as hostages by the Iranian's this will only intensify Americans demand for Trump to end the war.
Thirdly US Congressional elections are scheduled for November and Trump's Republican majority in the House of Representatives could result in Democrats retaining the majority in that body. It is less likely for the Repubs to lose its majority in the Senate although that is also possible.
Lastly a Democrat held majority in the House could vote to impeach Trump as well as cripple his agenda going forward in his last two years as president.
