Trump mocked as he considers 'insane' escalation in Iran: 'What could go wrong?'
Political analysts and observers were aghast on Wednesday after a new report indicated that President Donald Trump is considering an "insane" escalation in the war in Iran.
Phil Stewart, the chief national security reporter at Reuters, and Idrees Ali, a Reuters national security correspondent, reported on Wednesday that Trump is considering deploying additional troops to Iran to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a roughly 100-mile-long waterway that the Iranian regime has effectively blockaded to U.S. and Israeli ships in response to the recent bombing campaign against those countries.
"[The] Trump administration [is] considering deploying thousands of additional troops to the Middle East as the military prepares options for the possible next phase of the Iran war. One option for securing the Strait of Hormuz includes deploying troops to Iranian shores," Stewart posted on X.
Political analysts and observers reacted to the report on social media.
"Oh, another boots on the ground war in the Middle East, Persia edition ... what could go wrong?" financial researcher Ross Hendricks posted on X.
"Insane," Zeteo News founder Mehdi Hasan posted on X.
"AMERICA FIRST, you MAGA morons," political commentator Wajahat Ali posted on X.
"This is why you don’t go to war without a legal basis, clear and 'achievable' objectives, and an understanding of what an exit strategy would entail. Everyone who egged this on should be ashamed," writer Jasmine El-Gamal posted on X.
"Will they be wearing boots?" national security expert Tom Nichols posted on X.
