The commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force has called on the families of US military personnel deployed to West Asia to check on them, citing censorship of casualty figures by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM).

Iran’s military says American troops would become “good food for the sharks of the Persian Gulf” in the event of a ground offensive.

The parliament speaker highlighted the US's inability to protect its troops if they are deployed on Iranian soil.

Iran's military is closely monitoring US forces across the region, the senior spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces says, asserting that the American military structure in West Asia has "collapsed in the shortest possible time."

Iranian security forces are fully ready to confront any American sabotage operations, a highly placed security source told Press TV on Tuesday.

An Iranian Army spokesman says 220 American soldiers and commanders have been killed or wounded and significant damage has been inflicted on American assets in the region in retaliatory attacks by the Iranian Armed Forces over the past 24 hours.

Reza Vedadi, a London-based researcher and author says the Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to drive US forces out of the West Asia region.
