Hawzah News Agency- In remarks reported on Tuesday, al-Fahdawi stated that the threat of an Israeli-American ground assault on Iran is merely a "transient storm" designed to exert pressure on Tehran to extract new concessions on the nuclear file for the Trump administration.
He warned that any ground operation aimed at occupying the Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island would result in an unprecedented and heavy defeat for Israeli-American forces.
'Catastrophic Consequences'
Al-Fahdawi said in his remarks that statements by Trump and his team about preparing to launch a ground attack on Iran in coordination with Israel would have grave consequences, and that Iran would emerge victorious in an unexpected manner. He stressed that rumors of rapid decisions being taken for a ground attack on Iran lack any basis in reality, and that the United States would not embark on such an adventure given the prohibitive costs of such a war.
Heavy Defeat for Israeli-American Forces
He added that if Israeli-American forces were to carry out a ground operation to occupy the Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island, they would face a heavy and unprecedented defeat, and Iran would prevail — because Iran still possesses capable ground forces to defeat invading forces, and in the defense of its territory the balance of power would tilt in Iran's favor, as its forces will not surrender until victory is achieved.
A Media Ploy to Boost Morale
Al-Fahdawi concluded by noting that Trump's statements are nothing more than a media stunt and are not grounded in reality; such remarks are merely intended to boost the morale of his collapsing soldiers.
Iraqi Coalition Leader Dismisses Escalation Rhetoric
The Iraqi political figure's remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and repeated threats by Washington and Tel Aviv against the Islamic Republic. Al-Fahdawi's assessment underscores widespread skepticism in the region over the viability of any large-scale military confrontation with Iran, with analysts pointing to the immense logistical, strategic and human costs such an operation would entail for the United States and its allies.
