As tensions continue between the United States and Iran, the White House is now saying that a military draft has not been completely ruled out.
During a recent interview, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about whether the U.S. may need more troops if the situation escalates. She responded by saying that Donald Trump “does not remove options off the table,” though she also made it clear that a draft is not currently part of the immediate plan.
The comments come as tensions in the region continue to grow and discussions about troop levels and military strategy move forward. The potential of a draft has already started conversations across the country, especially among young Americans and their families.
Some lawmakers have also spoken out. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the administration, pointing out that many voters supported leadership that promised to keep the United States out of new foreign wars.
For now, officials say no military draft has been announced, but the fact that it has not been ruled out is already raising eyebrows as the situation overseas continues to develop.
