The expert warned of the devastating consequences of the US ground invasion of Iran
A U.S. ground offensive in Iran would have devastating consequences for the entire international security situation. This was reported to Izvestia on March 20 by Austrian geopolitical analyst Patrick Poppel.
"We must not forget that Iran is not a small country. Therefore, if America attacks Iran with ground troops, then any other country in the world could suffer the same fate. This is absolutely critical," Poppel said.
According to him, if the United States launches a ground operation, then humanity will be on the threshold or even in the midst of World War III. In addition, Poppel also noted that the reaction of Iran's allies to a possible large-scale offensive remains unpredictable.
The day before, NBC News reported that the United States would deploy the Marine Expeditionary Force to the Middle East ahead of schedule. It was noted that the personnel of the corps will be stationed on board the landing ship USS Boxer.
American leader Donald Trump announced on March 9 that the United States has no plans to send troops to Iran yet. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on the same day that the goal of the United States mission in Iran is to destroy Tehran's ability to launch missiles.
All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
