Critics quickly sounded alarms online after a report that President Donald Trump has privately shown interest in sending U.S. ground troops into Iran.

According to an NBC News exclusive, Trump has discussed the idea with aides and Republican officials as part of a broader vision for a post-war Iran in which the country’s uranium would be secured, and the United States could cooperate with a new Iranian government on oil production.

The discussions inside the Trump White House are not focused on a large-scale invasion, the sources told NBC, but rather on the possibility of deploying a small contingent of U.S. troops for specific missions. Trump has not made any final decisions or issued orders related to sending any troops, the report on Friday added.

Still, the idea sparked sharp reactions on social media from political commentators and foreign policy observers.

“God help us all,” posted former Obama staffer Tommy Vietor, now co-host of the Pod Save America podcast.

“Everything—literally everything—the pro-diplomacy, anti-war camp has been warning about for years is happening as predicted,” Dylan Williams of the Center for International Policy warned on X.

Pennsylvania Capital-Star reporter Nick Field added in his own social media post: “If only there was a historical analogy of Americans sending in just a few troops only to [be] pulled further and further into a quagmire. Something that might've happened in Donald Trump's formative years.....”

Former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, offered a blunter reaction, telling his followers on X the report was “Madness,” while analyst Malcolm Davis with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute warned the move was “quite likely” to become “a slippery slope to a ‘forever war.'"

“And here we go….” wrote University of North Georgia rhetoric professor Matthew Boedy.

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
