Iran accuses US of plotting ground attack, as Israel steps up bombardment
"Iran's Ministry of Energy reported power outages in the capital, Tehran, its surrounding region and neighbouring Alborz province on Sunday, following attacks on electricity industry facilities. The Fars news agency reported later that the outages were being resolved."
"Ghalibaf's comments on Iran's readiness for a ground assault came as The Washington Post reported that the Pentagon was preparing for weeks of limited ground operations in Iran, potentially including raids on Kharg Island, a crude export hub, and coastal sites near the Strait of Hormuz shipping chokepoint."
"Our men are waiting for the arrival of the American soldiers on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional allies once and for all, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a statement on Sunday."
Power outages were reported in Tehran and surrounding areas due to attacks on electricity facilities. Iran's parliament speaker accused the US of plotting a ground attack while military personnel are deployed to the Middle East. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that Iran is prepared to retaliate against American soldiers and their regional allies. The Pentagon is reportedly planning limited ground operations in Iran, coinciding with ongoing Israeli attacks. Authorities in Tehran activated substations to restore power, indicating preparedness for such situations amid escalating conflict.
