The conversations, sources said, have centered not on a full-scale invasion but on deploying a smaller contingent of forces for specific strategic purposes, such as securing uranium stockpiles or carrying out targeted military operations."
"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the report in a statement to NBC, saying it relied on speculation from people outside the administration's inner circle. This story is based on assumptions from anonymous sources who are not part of the President's national security team and are clearly not read into these discussions, Leavitt said."
"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News on Thursday that Tehran is ready if the United States sends troops. We are waiting for them, Araghchi said. We are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them."
