You Vote: With Trump signaling exit for US from Iran and Bibi saying troops are needed, what now?

President Donald Trump signaled Friday night an upcoming end to the United States’ involvement in the conflict with Iran, stating the U.S. is “very close” to meeting its objectives. The U.S. and Israel began a weeks-long conflict against Iran late last month, which resulted in the death of former Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated by hitting U.S. bases in the Middle East and attacking Israel.
Trump said in a Truth Social post that the United States is considering winding down its involvement in the regional conflict because the U.S. has completely degraded Iran’s “Missile Capability, Launchers, and everything else pertaining to them.”
The president also noted that the U.S. has destroyed Iran’s Defense Industrial Base, eliminated its Navy and Air Force, prevented it from getting nuclear capabilities and is protecting U.S. allies in the region, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday indicated that the Islamic regime in Iran would not be overthrown without a “ground component” to the current conflict.
Boots of the ground are a sensitive issue in the United States, with polling showing the public overwhelmingly opposed to such a move in Iran. The prospect of an Iranian Kurdish uprising spearheaded by militants from Iraqi Kurdistan briefly entered the news cycle, but such an effort has not materialized.
