Iran Warns US Against Ground Invasion, Threatening Retaliation

The attack followed Iran's warning to the United States against sending ground troops to the Middle East, threatening to "set them on fire." Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that while the US publicly sends messages of negotiation, it is secretly planning a ground attack. Ghalibaf was quoted saying, "Our men are waiting for the arrival of the American soldiers on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional allies once and for all." The Pentagon is reportedly preparing to send at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division, a unit trained for parachute insertions into hostile territory, to the Middle East in the coming days.
