JokersUpdates.com: Current Affairs - Trump Aides Panic Over His Latest ‘Terrible Idea’: Officials are trying to subtly talk the president out of a plan that is likely to result in more U.S. troops being killed.

Those around Donald Trump are worried that the president will send U.S. troops to seize Iran’s nuclear material, even if it results in the deaths of scores of Americans.

Multiple officials across the Trump administration believe that the 79-year-old’s plan to escalate the Middle East conflict is a “resoundingly terrible idea” but fear the president will push ahead regardless, Zeteo reported.

While Trump has seemingly backed away from the idea of sending U.S. troops to seize Iran’s oil export hub, Kharg Island, the president is reportedly still keen on deploying troops and special forces into the country to retrieve enriched uranium as part of a plan to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“Taking Kharg Island would be a bloodbath. This would be a mega-bloodbath,” one unnamed official told Zeteo. “There’s also reason to think that some senior Iranians want us to put boots on the ground because it makes it easier to kill Americans.”

Trump’s deeply unpopular war in Iran has already resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. troops, with about 400 more wounded.

A shaky ceasefire began April 8 between the U.S. and Iran, which Trump now appears prepared to violate entirely by invading the Middle Eastern country.

The president is reportedly so enthusiastic about the prospect of sending U.S. troops into Iran that, when he talks about it, it sounds like he is discussing a “scene in a movie,” sources told Zeteo.

Officials have subtly been trying to talk Trump out of sending troops into Iran by frequently mentioning how many soldiers would likely die as a result—warnings that could fall on deaf ears.

“We might actually be stupid enough to try it,” one Trump administration official told Zeteo.
