Iranian Military Warns Against Potential U.S. Ground Offensive

The Iranian Armed Forces have issued a stern warning in response to the possibility of a U.S. ground offensive. According to Odaily, a spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command stated on March 31 that Iran's military is prepared to decisively counter any aggression, vowing to 'cut off the legs of any invader and leave them in disgrace.' The statement criticized the United States and Israel for underestimating Iran's capabilities, suggesting that this miscalculation not only damages their reputation but also leads them toward a path of destruction. The spokesperson accused the U.S. and Israel of living in a fantasy, believing that propaganda, military displays, and targeted assassinations of civilians, scientists, and military leaders would force Iran into submission. However, the statement emphasized that Iran has never surrendered to its enemies throughout history. Furthermore, the statement addressed the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that any ambitions by the U.S. and Israel to control the waterway are futile and will remain unfulfilled.
