Trump says he's 'not afraid' of Vietnam-style ground combat in Iran
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is 'not afraid' to deploy US ground troops within Iran , further emphasizing the lengths he is willing to go in his Middle East war. Speaking from the Oval Office alongside Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheal Martin, the President fielded many questions about the Iran war. 'Are you afraid that if you put boots on the ground in Iran, it could be another Vietnam?' one reporter asked. 'No,' Trump shot back, adding, 'I'm not afraid of anything.' The President has previously said that he would deploy ground troops if 'necessary,' but he has offered few details on what scenario would prompt a boots-on-the-ground invasion.
