Will There Be a Ground Invasion of Iran? (W/ Col. Larry Wilkerson) | The Chris Hedges Report

The Chris Hedges Report interviews retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson about the United States’ mounting preparations for a possible ground invasion of Iran amid the ongoing US‑Israeli war. Wilkerson argues that billions of dollars have been spent with little strategic gain and that a land campaign would likely become a costly quagmire. He links the conflict to America’s broader attempt to curb China’s expanding trade routes and warns that escalation could push Iran toward nuclear weapons. Ultimately, he suggests the only sensible exit is a declared victory and rapid withdrawal, a path he doubts current leaders will take.
