According to the Middle East Eye (a London based news outlet largely staffed by alumni of established media institutions like The Economist, Al Jazeera, BBC and The Guardian), senior members of the Trump administration are deeply divided over placing American ground troops in harm's way inside Iran at the request of — yes, you guessed it right — Israel!

Former Fox News talking head and turned Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is apparently on the verge of a fistfight with long-time presidential aspirant, now Secretary of State — who rose to the senatorial class from — over whether there should be American boots on the ground in Iran.
From a Middle East Eye dated March 4, 2026:
It's surprising, perhaps even refreshing, to see Marco Rubio — considered by many a protege of the Bush family, who initiated two wars in the Middle East — pushing back against another American boots on the ground adventure in the region.
However, there's little guarantee President DJT will heed the advice of Lil' Marco — who fought hard against him for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination and — over the "energetic Israel first leadership" of fellow former television personality Pete Hegseth!

The most serious political commentator I know speculates that Tucker is actually the public face of a section of the US deep state which is trying to get rid of Israeli influence. His dad was CIA so the connections are surely there. Zero evidence, pure vibes though.
But he might have serious heavy hitter allies backing him and he seems a bit paranoid with security arrangements. Does he avoid public speeches outdoors?
So rich, so many interceptors…
Tucker says all the right things doesn't he? Beware, he's a snake. I'm waiting for the rug pull.
Actually if Iran was targeting ships in the Mediterranean then it could explain both the flat trajectory of missiles as they fly over Israel and the number of interceptors launched. It's also plausible a ship off the coast of Lebanon would both be easier to hit (no ground based AD) and its footage easier to leak out than one off coast of Israel.
A lot of people don't think long term. They want that instant gratification where stuff like this war ends in say two month. Just look how much they hate the Ukraine war simply on the fact its over 4 years and still dragging on.
Lets say Iran only sends 5 drones/missile everyday going forward. However they do that everyday for 300 days without stopping. Thats 1,500 worth of hits which is no small number. Thats def gonna make some people feel exhausted espeically if those hits become accurate and start hitting the really important stuff.
Assuming we are still here in nine months and Iran is still going strong, you will start to see the fatigue.
