Trump's Iran war deadlock deepens: With ground invasion 'unfeasible', US left with nuclear option?

Donald Trump's Iran strategy is facing a provocative new debate after former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent raised the possibility of Washington eventually considering nuclear weapons. Speaking to Tucker Carlson, Kent argued that if objectives such as regime change or “total surrender” remain in place, a full-scale ground operation would be unfeasible, potentially leaving far more extreme scenarios. He speculated about a limited nuclear strike against deeply buried Iranian nuclear facilities, though this was not an announced U.S. policy. With Washington simultaneously intensifying economic pressure on Tehran, could a prolonged deadlock push Trump's Iran crisis toward increasingly dangerous options?
