US Senator Lindsey Graham has dismissed the possibility of deploying American ground troops in Iran, saying such a move is unnecessary. Speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., the Republican senator stated that the ongoing conflict is expected to continue for several more weeks. He emphasized that the war’s objective is to ensure Iran cannot resume uranium production, destroy its missile development capabilities, and prevent it from reviving its nuclear program.

Graham noted that the conflict is not nearing an immediate end and that achieving these goals will take additional time. He added that the situation would be reassessed after several weeks of operations. His remarks come as tensions remain high in the region, with reports of related incidents in Iraq and Oman.

The senator’s comments, reported by Al Jazeera, underline a strategic focus on targeted military objectives rather than a full-scale ground deployment in Iran.
