In response to a potential US ground war, a spokesperson for the Hatem Anbia Central Command of the Iranian Armed Forces issued a statement on March 31, saying that the Iranian Armed Forces "will sever the legs of any aggressor to Iran and abandon them in the black soil of humiliation." The statement said that the US and Israel have misjudged Iran's strength, which has not only caused them to lose face but also pushed them down a path of destruction. The US and Israel are indulging in wishful thinking, believing that by launching a propaganda war, displaying weapons and equipment, and assassinating children, civilians, scientists, and Iranian armed forces commanders, they can force Iran to surrender, while Iran has never yielded to enemies throughout its history. The statement also said that the US and Israel are delusional about controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and they "will take this dream to their grave." (CCTV News) (Jin Shi)
