with US ground troops in Iran--- although that was the 'next objective' of the neocons who forced the Iraq war....
which went so badly that they never got around to trying it in Iran--
(although John McCain, in his 2008 campaign, sang "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran", not his best moment)

Trump et al are keeping those U.S. troops in reserve, in case they decide they will need them to suppress their own people....




Now extremely ironic, the first Republican President Abraham Lincoln once said,
"One war at a time."
