The source said Iran has been preparing for such a day for 20 years, citing Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other places as useful exercises in facing such an enemy.

The source warned Americans to pay attention to 'bitter experiences of the past and the deadly dangers that await them.'

Press TV reported that Trump administration officials have been toying with the idea of sending ground troops into Iran as the Israeli-American war against the country intensifies.

Bloomberg said US President Donald Trump is considering deploying special forces to seize Iran's near-bomb-grade uranium stockpile.

CNN warned that such an escalation would place a significant number of troops in harm's way as part of a complex mission to secure or render safe tons of highly radioactive material.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that any such action "would have to be for a very good reason" and that "they would be so decimated that they wouldn't be able to fight at the ground level."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC that Tehran is fully capable of defending itself against a potential US ground incursion.

Araghchi said, “For the time being, we are capable enough. We have very brave soldiers, who are waiting for any enemy who enters our soil to fight with them, and to kill them and destroy them.”

Press TV said the Israeli-American war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran entered its 11th day on Tuesday.

Press TV said Iranian armed forces have conducted 34 waves of retaliatory strikes against targets in the occupied territories and US military installations across the region, deploying advanced missiles and drones that have “inflicted high costs on the enemy.”
