Iran lawmaker hopes for US ground war, asks ‘where is Trump’s army?’

Mar 6, 2026, 10:29 GMT+0

Iranian lawmaker Mohammad Saleh Jokar said he hopes the war expands into a ground conflict so that American soldiers are killed, and vowed that the outcome will be decided on the battlefield, not through diplomacy.

“I hope this war turns into a ground war so we witness the burial of American soldiers in the Persian Gulf region,” Jokar told Didban Iran.

Referring to US President Donald Trump, he added: “America, which Trump boasted about and said we have the strongest army in the world — where is it now?”

He said Iran has not yet used its “new tactics and technologies” in the fight against the United States and Israel, adding: “We will determine the final result on the battlefield, diplomacy is no longer enough.”
