In a Fox News interview on Tuesday, President Trump declined to rule out a ground invasion of Iran, even as U.S. military strikes against Iranian targets continued in the background. The statement was not a declaration of intent but something more unsettling — a deliberate refusal to close a door. In the long history of how nations signal their resolve, what a leader will not say often carries more weight than what they will, and Trump's careful non-denial has introduced a new and consequential threshold into an already escalating conflict.
