WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said Thursday he will not put troops in Iran as the US-Israeli war with Iran is escalating.
Trump made the remarks when meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the White House.
Asked by a reporter about sending US ground troops to Iran, Trump said, "I'm not putting troops anywhere."
The United States and Israel began large-scale strikes on Iran on Feb 28, disrupting global shipping, sending oil prices soaring and shaking the global economy.
