“I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground – like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,” Trump told the Post in one of several brief interviews he has given since launching the Iran operation on Saturday.
“I say ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary,’” he said.
Trump also told CNN that the “big wave” is yet to come in the war with Iran, adding that Washington does not know who the country’s new leader would be following the killing of Ali Khamenei.
“We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon,” Trump said, telling CNN it was unclear who was now leading the country.
“We don’t know who the leadership is. We don’t know who they’ll pick,” he said.
