Tehran [Iran], March 26 (ANI): Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned US and Israeli forces against contemplating a ground operation on Iranian territory.
“Don’t send your children to hell with the deceit of Netanyahu and Trump. The invading soldiers will be deeply drowned and disappear in the million-strong sea of the Iranian nation,” the IRGC statement said, urging Americans they are being misled by warmongers who distort battlefield realities.
“The truth of the war you must observe at American gas stations, on the streets of Iran, and in the skies of Tel Aviv and Haifa,” the statement added.
A CBS report said the Pentagon is expected to deploy troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East. The report, citing a source familiar with the planning, said the Pentagon plans to send elements of the division, including a command component and some ground forces, to the region. A possible ground operation on Kharg Island is also being contemplated.
The IRGC said precision-guided Emad, Qiam, Khorramshahr-4, and Qadr missiles struck more than 70 locations across Israel in the 81st wave of Operation True Promise 4. The IRGC Public Relations Department claimed the missiles successfully hit targets in Haifa, Dimona, Al-Khudriyya near Haifa, and areas north and south of Tel Aviv.
“Remember, we will level Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground, this is what our martyred Leader taught us,” the IRGC warned.
The IRGC also stated that over 700 missiles and 3,600 drones have been fired at American and Israeli targets since the war began, and that Iran’s air defence systems have intercepted and destroyed more than 200 enemy aircraft, including cruise missiles and advanced fighter jets.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Bagherian Araghchi said the country will continue to pursue a policy of “resistance” in response to “unprovoked American-Israeli aggression,” ruling out negotiations or a ceasefire without reliable guarantees, according to Iranian state media Press TV.
In a televised interview, Araghchi said, “At present, our policy is to continue resistance, and no negotiations have taken place.” He added that while regional diplomatic contacts have occurred, Tehran’s stance remains “principled and firm,” and he questioned the reliability of international guarantees aimed at ending the conflict.
