Iran warns US ground troops would be 'set on fire' as diplomats meet on war
Iran’s parliament speaker said the US is plotting a ground attack despite publicly engaging in diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war.
Around 3,500 US sailors and marines arrived in the Middle East on an assault ship yesterday.
The Washington Post quoted anonymous US officials as saying that any potential ground operation 'would fall short of a full-scale invasion'.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel would be expanding operations in Lebanon.
