White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not dispel fears of a military draft for the war in Iran in an interview appearance over the weekend.
Leavitt appeared on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on March 8, speaking about the war in Iran, rising fuel prices and the SAVE Act.
"Mothers out there are worried that we're gonna have a draft, that they're going to see their sons and daughters get involved in this. What do you wanna say about the president's plan for troops on the ground?" Bartiromo asked.
"(President Donald Trump) wisely does not remove options off of the table," Leavitt responded. She also echoed her comments from an earlier briefing, saying that having troops on the ground is not currently part of the plan, which is largely an air campaign. "The president as commander in chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation."
