Iran Bluntly Responds to US Military Invasion Threat, Probability of US Ground Troops Entering Iran by End of Month is 16%

BlockBeats News, March 27th, Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf today made a tough statement regarding the potential ground invasion threat, saying: "The United States cannot even protect its own soldiers in their local bases; they can only hide them in hotels and parks. In this situation, how can they possibly protect these soldiers on our territory?"

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi posted on social media accusing the US military of using civilians in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries as "human shields" and called on hotels in these countries to refuse bookings from the US military. Since the start of this war, the US military has fled from military bases in GCC countries and taken refuge in hotels and office buildings. (CCTV International News)
