Trump Calls US Ground Invasion of Iran 'Waste of Time' but Leaves Options Open

US President Donald Trump dismissed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's statement about awaiting a US and Israeli ground invasion as a "waste of time," emphasizing that Iran has lost significant military capabilities. While Trump ruled out a current plan for ground troops, he previously did not exclude their use if necessary. He affirmed ongoing strikes and expressed a desire to remove Iran's leadership, urging Iranian forces to disarm and diplomats to seek asylum.
