Trump hints at ground invasion in Iran, says forces would be 'decimated'
•US President Donald Trump suggested sending ground troops into Iran "for a very good reason," asserting it would "decimate" Iranian forces.
•Trump explicitly ruled out negotiations with Iran, stating the US is "not looking to settle" and Iranian leaders are "being decimated."
•This follows his earlier demand for Iran's unconditional surrender to halt the US-Israeli military campaign, which began on February 28.
•US and Israeli strikes have reportedly killed several senior Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
•Iran is preparing to name a new supreme leader, with Mojtaba, Khamenei's son, as a potential successor, amidst Israeli threats against any replacement.
