TRUMP: AL-SHARAA WILL TAKE CARE OF HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL SHOULD LEAVE LEBANON - w/ Karen Kwiatkowski

What was said

"If you drop— if you parachute guys into Kharg Island, um, they're never coming— they're coming off and it's pretty much going to be like, uh, the Iranians said, they— you send body bags because that's how they're coming off that island, on— but in body bags."

Kwiatkowski warns that any attempted airborne assault on Iran's strategic Kharg Island would be suicidal, with troops facing Iran's million-man military plus volunteers and IRGC forces unified in sacred defense. She predicts such an operation would trigger massive Iranian retaliation against Israel and remaining US bases, escalating to attacks on civilian infrastructure. The assessment comes as Trump continues discussing ground operations despite ammunition shortages.
