Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a stark warning that Iranian forces are prepared to attack any incoming US ground troops, saying they would be “set on fire.” The threat comes amid growing fears of a US ground invasion, with Tehran accusing Washington of hiding military intentions behind diplomatic messaging. The conflict has intensified with ongoing US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran and retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region.
