President Donald Trump said Wednesday that, even as ceasefire negotiations with Iran have broken down, he is not planning a ground invasion of the Gulf country.
Trump told reporters Wednesday in Ankara, Turkey, that the United States has already effectively “got the nuclear material because it’s so far underground, nobody’s going to be able to get it except us because we have the equipment that can get it.”

“Why would I go in now?” the president continued, adding that he would only send in personnel to secure the buried nuclear dust once Iran is “completely” eliminated or a diplomatic end to the war is reached.
