Iran Tensions Escalate: Tehran Warns US Against Ground Assault

Iran threatens to retaliate against any US ground incursion, as the Revolutionary Guard warns of strikes against American universities in the region. This comes amid rising tensions between the two nations.
As tensions continue to simmer between Iran and the United States, Tehran has issued a stark warning to Washington. Iran's armed forces have stated that they are ''waiting'' for the arrival of US ground troops, vowing to ''set them on fire''. This comes after Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatened to strike American universities in the region if the US decides to launch a ground assault.
The heightened rhetoric underscores the fragile state of relations between the two nations, which have been strained for decades. Iran's Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, warned that his forces are prepared to confront any aggression. ''We are waiting for your response,'' he declared, addressing the United States.
