Kurt Alme on Ground Troops and the Iran War
Kurt AlmeU.S. Senate, Montana
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Alme answered a question about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East in a Montana Television Network interview dated October 6, 2026. He distinguished opposition to a prolonged ground war from supporting a response to the Iranian regime. The broadcaster labels its interview transcript edited for brevity and clarity.
“But also, let me be clear, I will never support sending our sons and daughters boots on the ground into another forever war. But when we get an enemy like the Iranian regime that threatens us with nuclear weapons, we have to respond.”
