Tensions soar as Hegseth and Rubio feud over US troops in Iran

Tensions are rising within the US administration over its approach to the war on Iran, specifically between Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The primary point of contention is whether to deploy US ground troops to Iran at Israel's request. Hegseth supports the deployment, while Rubio is reportedly wary of entangling the US in a long war and is irked by Hegseth's public posture. The CIA has reportedly begun training and arming Kurdish fighters to operate in Iran, while President Trump has remained noncommittal on the issue of ground troops.
