Trump weighs US ground forces deployment in Iran

The White House is considering deploying ground troops to Iran, a move that has alarmed Democrats and a growing number of Republicans who say there is no clear exit strategy. Trump has separately threatened that any new supreme leader will "not last long" without US approval, while Starmer called Trump on Sunday to repair relations after the president publicly criticised Britain's refusal to back the initial strikes. The FT reports the ground-forces option is actively on the table as the conflict enters its second week.
