Speaking briefly to multiple media outlets, Trump indicated that the retaliation would come soon but did not provide specific details. In an interview with the American channel News Nation, he hinted at a limited likelihood of deploying ground troops to Iran, stressing that U.S. forces are already inflicting “significant damage” on strategic targets.
