Iranian military warns: Sharks in the Persian Gulf are waiting for American soldiers. Trump's wrong decisions will lead U.S. troops into a death trap.

Xinhua reported, citing Iran’s Islamic Republic of Broadcasting and Television on the 29th, that the spokesman of Iran’s Armed Forces’ Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters issued a statement on the day warning that U.S. President Trump’s threats to carry out ground operations in Iran would only “send the U.S. military into a bottomless pit of imprisonment and death.”

The statement said that in response to Trump’s repeated recent threats to launch ground actions against Iran and to occupy parts of Iran’s islands, the Iranian military is ready to respond. “The sharks in the Persian Gulf are waiting for American servicemen.” Trump’s wrong decisions will cause the U.S. military to “get stuck in a death quagmire.”

According to reports from U.S. media recently, the Pentagon is preparing for a “ground operation lasting several weeks” in Iran. It is still unclear to what extent Trump will approve the Pentagon’s action plan. If he “chooses to escalate the operation,” this will mark a “dangerous new phase” of the war.

According to CCTV News, reports citing information from the U.S. side indicate that the Pentagon is preparing for a “ground operation lasting several weeks” in Iran. It is still unclear to what extent U.S. President Trump will approve the Pentagon’s action plan.

U.S. forces have, over consecutive days, deployed ground combat troops to the Middle East from multiple locations.

On the 28th local time, the U.S. Central Command announced that the “Liberty” amphibious assault ship of U.S. forces, along with more than 3,500 naval sailors and Marines embarked on it, arrived in the Middle East region on the 27th and has now entered its area of responsibility. This area of responsibility includes regions such as the Middle East.

On the 27th, after attending the Group of Seven foreign ministers’ meeting in France, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said that the United States can still achieve its military operation goals against Iran without dispatching ground forces. He said that the United States recently added the deployment of thousands of troops to the Middle East region, aiming to provide options for the president to respond to sudden situations.

CCTV News, in its report, cited messages released by the Iranian side on the 29th, saying that Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly Speaker Qalibaf pointed out that while the United States publicly talks about negotiations, behind the scenes it is secretly planning a ground offensive. Qalibaf said that Iran’s Armed Forces are “waiting” for a U.S. ground offensive, and will “punish” its regional allies.

According to a report by Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency on March 29, the member of the Iranian experts meeting, Maise Basiq Moghaddam, said that if the United States attempts to send troops to seize Iran’s islands, it will face Iran’s “decisive retaliation.”
