- Rep. Pat Fallon, who chairs the House panel overseeing military personnel, said Monday on Fox Business that he sees no way to end the war without U.S. troops operating inside Iran.
- He predicted a limited U.S. footprint by American special operations forces working with regional allies under U.S. air cover.
- He argued Iran’s size makes airpower alone insufficient and claimed broad public anger could trigger uprisings that weaken the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- President Trump posted on Truth Social that Tuesday would be “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” in Iran, threatening strikes on civilian infrastructure.
- A recent rescue of a second missing U.S. airman inside Iran, reported by Newsweek, showed both the reach of U.S. forces and the risk of capture as Congress weighs any move to ground troops.
