- Iran threatens to "set fire to the souls" of US soldiers if America deploys troops to the Middle East.
- The vow came from a top Iranian commander amid escalating tensions over Israel's war in Gaza.
- It signals Iran's readiness for direct confrontation if the US intervenes militarily on the ground.
Iran's most senior military commander warned that any US troop deployment in the region would provoke fierce retaliation against American forces. The threat targets US soldiers specifically and escalates rhetoric as Israel presses its campaign in Gaza, with Iran backing proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. This comes as the US bolsters its regional presence with naval assets but stops short of ground commitments, heightening fears of a wider conflict that could draw in global powers.
