Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliament speaker, said the country’s forces are “waiting for American soldiers” to enter, warning they would “rain fire upon them”. His remarks came as the US sent more troops to the region. The Pentagon said about 3,500 personnel arrived aboard USS Tripoli. The Washington Post reported the US is preparing for possible ground operations, though approval by Donald Trump is unclear. Marco Rubio said goals could be achieved “without any ground troops”.
