Iran threatens: American soldiers will be destroyed in a conflict

At the same time, similar threats were heard in the pro-Iranian organizations in Iraq. Iraqi Hezbollah called for preparations for a “prolonged war of attrition in the region”, and warned that if the United States “dare to inflame the war”, it would suffer heavy losses. The organization even warned the Kurdistan Regional Government about the consequences of cooperating with foreign forces.

The operations command of Kataab Hezbollah emphasized that in the event that the US initiates a conflict, it will face “heavy losses that cannot be contained or compensated for”, and called on the fighters to prepare for a prolonged conflict.

Against the background of the threats, a report in Bloomberg indicates an advanced American preparation: the Pentagon’s first suicide drone unit, known as “Task Force Scorpion”, is prepared to participate in a possible attack in Iran if President Trump orders it. This is a new unit established last year as part of the largest US military buildup in the region since 2003, with the aim of increasing pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program.

The latest developments join a series of military measures and harsh statements from both sides, increasing the fear of a deterioration into a wide regional conflict.
