Description:
President Trump said Sunday evening that he has “alternatives” when asked whether he was considering operations that would involve putting U.S. forces on the ground in Iran, as the conflict enters its fifth week.
 
“I just have lots of alternatives. We have tremendous numbers of ships over there. We don’t need them all because of, you know, the power,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One. “Just like we’re ahead of schedule in the ballroom, in a much bigger way, we’re ahead of schedule with Iran. We’re weeks ahead of schedule.”
 
The president also said the U.S. and Israeli strikes had achieved “regime change” in Tehran and that his administration was now negotiating with a new group of leaders who are “acting very reasonable.”
 
“We have a group, it’s really a new regime, it’s a new group of people — people that we’ve never dealt with before that are acting very reasonable,” he said.
