Iran hopes US will ‘test itself on the ground’, IRGC general says

A provincial Revolutionary Guards commander said Iran wants the United States to “make a mistake” and test its power on the ground, after claiming Washington had already been defeated at sea and in the air.

Rostam-Ali Rafiei Atani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Qazvin province, said: “We hope America makes a mistake and tests its power on the ground as well. It was defeated at sea and in the air, and we would like it to test itself on the ground too.”

He added that “the greatest achievement of this war is that no one trusts America anymore,” claiming the conflict had “shattered America’s hollow power.”
