JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump says “I’m not putting troops” in Iran but “if I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.”

President Trump told The Post Monday that he’s not ruling out sending US ground troops into Iran “if they were necessary” — adding that Operation Epic Fury was “way ahead of schedule” after taking out dozens of Tehran’s top officials.

“I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,” Trump said after launching strikes Saturday to decapitate Iran’s military and political leadership. “I say, ‘probably don’t need them’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.’”
