U.S. President Donald J. Trump is now facing the toughest decision so far of his presidency, a legacy-defining endeavor, whether to deploy hundreds or even thousands of American ground troops into Iran to support a number of contingencies being prepared by the Pentagon, including the capture of Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, or operations deep behind enemy lines to secure highly-enriched uranium from nuclear sites in Iran, according to CNN.
For many Trump allies in Washington, the deployment of thousands of troops to the Middle East would mean the swift end of their public support for the Iran War - and likely threaten the administration’s ability to deliver the hundreds of billions of dollars in supplemental funding that will soon be requested from Congress by the Pentagon and White House. The economic repercussions of the conflict have led many of Trump’s Republican allies, staring down a tough political road to the midterm elections in November, to urge him to find a way out of Iran.
