Iranian forces "are waiting for the arrival of American troops on the ground to set them on fire" [View all]

Iranian forces “are waiting for the arrival of American troops on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever,” the country’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Sunday.

Qalibaf added: “Our firing continues. Our missiles are in place. Our determination and faith have increased.”

The comments came as regional powers plan to meet in Pakistan to discuss how to end the fighting in the Middle East as about 2,500 U.S. Marines arrived in the region and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels entered the monthlong war.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan arrived in Pakistan on Sunday. Turkey and Egypt are also expected to send senior diplomats to Islamabad for the talks.
