Mohammadreza Naqdi, an adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that even the preliminary discussion of a ground attack on Iran has not taken shape in the minds of American commanders, because they know they do not have the capability to carry out such operations. He said: “If the United States carries out a ground attack, it knows what will happen to them. They will be left so trapped that they themselves will come and raise the surrender flag.” Naqdi also said: “The American fleet has been adrift for seven months. They fled since the start of the war.”
