Trump Floats Backing Anti-Tehran Insurgency As Alternative To US Boots On Ground

The United States and Israel are engaged in 'Operation Epic Fury' with discussions of a potential ground war and insurgency in Iran. Despite denying plans for ground troops, the US aims to dismantle the Iranian regime. Experts suggest an air war alone won't achieve regime change, indicating a need for boots on the ground. President Trump is considering supporting armed groups within Iran to overthrow the government. This involves reaching out to Kurdish leaders and potentially other groups to exploit Iran’s weaknesses. Such a strategy risks escalating into ethno-sectarian violence and retaliatory actions by Iranian forces. The White House hasn't confirmed a final plan but is considering providing support to anti-regime groups. Trump has urged the Iranian people to revolt, promising US backing with considerable force. The US reportedly lacks understanding of Iran's internal dynamics and the consequences of removing its leader. Potential partners for the US include Sunni insurgents, mirroring past support for similar groups. The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) is also a possible contender for US support.
