Former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman warned Sunday that sending U.S. troops<\/a> to Iran\u2019s Kharg Island would be “extremely risky,” exposing American forces to possible missile and drone attacks.<\/p>\n

“It’s just 10, 15 miles from the mainland, so they would be subjected potentially to ballistic missile strikes and drones and other attacks,” Hoffman warned on “Sunday Night in America.”<\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s possible that they might be sent in to recover the roughly thousand pounds of enriched uranium that we need to be able to find and collect. Or it may be a show of strength,” he added.<\/p>\n

Hoffman, speaking with Fox News host Trey Gowdy, said the broader conflict could unfold along three possible paths: a negotiated settlement, a change in Iran\u2019s regime or its behavior, or an “asymmetric” war of attrition.<\/p>\n

“I think right now, it looks more and more like we’re looking at a war of attrition,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Iran’s regime has been surprisingly resilient and every day that that regime is standing is a victory for their regime.”<\/p>\n

Hoffman\u2019s warning comes as U.S. forces continue to build up<\/a> in the region, raising the prospect of deeper American involvement even as diplomatic efforts remain underway.<\/p>\n

Peace talks are expected to resume in the coming days, with potential negotiations in Islamabad<\/a> offering a possible off-ramp.<\/p>\n

Hoffman said the regime’s resilience also highlights a key challenge the U.S. and its allies face: the limited ability of internal opposition forces to bring about change on their own.<\/p>\n

“They don’t, unfortunately, have the capacity, without U.S. boots on the ground like we saw in Iraq, to bring about real change,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
