Pat Fallon's April 2026 interview on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria. Fallon is a Republican congressman from Texas who sits on the House Armed Services Committee. The interview itself is on this site as Rep. Fallon: Boots on Ground, No Other Way.
The narrator reports that Fallon "said President Donald Trump needs boots on the ground to finish a joint United States Israeli operation in Iran," that "there will be boots, or at least United States Special Operations forces, on the ground alongside allies in the region," and that the United States "can't leave until the job is done." It ends with Fallon's own line from the interview:
"I just don't see any other way."
