Iran has warned the United States that sending ground troops into the country would lead to serious consequences for American forces. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is prepared for such a situation and believes a US invasion would end badly for Washington.
Speaking about the growing tensions in the region, Araghchi said Iran is not worried about the possibility of a US ground attack. According to him, the country’s military is ready to respond if American troops enter Iranian territory. He said Iran’s forces are waiting and prepared to defend the country, adding that such a move by the US would turn into a “big disaster” for American soldiers.
His warning comes at a time of rising tensions between Iran and the United States, with military actions and threats increasing in the region. The situation has become more serious as the conflict involving Israel and Iran continues to escalate.
Araghchi also dismissed claims that Iran is seeking a ceasefire with the United States. He said Tehran has not asked for negotiations to stop the fighting and believes talks would not be useful under the current circumstances. According to him, past diplomatic efforts often failed because military pressure followed negotiations.
The Iranian minister said the country has significantly strengthened its military capabilities in recent years. He pointed out that Iran has improved its missile systems and defence technology, which he said would help the country respond to any foreign attack.
While warning against a possible invasion, Araghchi said Iran does not necessarily want the conflict to continue. However, he stressed that the country has prepared itself for all possible scenarios and would defend its territory if needed.
