Iran Warns US of Ground Assault as Tensions Escalate in Middle East
Iran accuses the US of secretly planning a land attack while publicly seeking talks, as the Middle East conflict enters its second month and the Houthis join the fight.
As the war in the Middle East rages on, tensions continue to escalate between Iran and the United States. Tehran has issued a stern warning, accusing Washington of secretly planning a ground assault on Iran while publicly pursuing talks to resolve the conflict.
The Iranian government claims it is prepared to confront any such land attack, signaling a further escalation in the region. This comes as the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who are backed by Iran, have entered the fray for the first time, launching missiles at Israel.
Meanwhile, regional powers have convened in Pakistan in an effort to find a negotiated conclusion to the hostilities, which have already claimed thousands of lives and caused the biggest-ever disruption to global energy supplies.
