Trump Calls Ground Invasion of Iran a 'Waste of Time'
US President Donald Trump described the potential for a ground invasion in Iran as a 'waste of time' in response to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's comments about readiness for such an action. Trump suggested that the US has already diminished Iran's military capabilities significantly. Meanwhile, frustration is growing among Gulf allies over the US handling of the conflict, particularly regarding a lack of advance notice before recent strikes on Iran. Iranian forces have retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf countries, including the UAE and Kuwait, leading to airspace restrictions and flight disruptions. The conflict has now entered its seventh day, with ongoing exchanges of strikes between US-Israeli forces and Iran.
