Iran has warned the US of “another Vietnam” if troops are deployed, with Deputy FM Saeed Khatibzadeh cautioning against a prolonged conflict. He said Iran is prepared for a long war and compared it to Vietnam, where the US faced heavy losses and eventual withdrawal. Tehran blamed Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for escalating tensions. The conflict has already caused significant casualties, with nearly 1,500 Iranians and at least 13 US soldiers killed. Millions have been displaced, and fears are rising of a wider regional war across the Middle East.
