White House Press Secretary Levitt stated on the 4th that sending US ground troops to Iran is currently "not in the plans."
When asked at a press conference whether US ground troops would be sent to Iran, Levitt said, "At present, such measures are not included in this operation plan," but she would not rule out any military options by the US President.
The United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran on February 28. Currently, US-Israeli military actions are mainly airstrikes, but whether ground troops will be sent to Iran has not been explicitly ruled out by US President Trump or Defense Secretary Hegseth, drawing attention.
Denies Ammunition Stockpile Shortage
In addition, US Defense Secretary Hegseth denied reports of a shortage of US military ammunition stockpiles.
He said at a press conference on the 4th that the US and Israel no longer need to use long-range weapons to weaken Iran's air defense system and will now use more cost-effective GPS and laser-guided bombs to strike Iranian targets.
