“Our men are waiting for the arrival of the American soldiers on the ground to set them on fire and punish their regional allies once and for all,” he added.
Mr. Ghalibaf’s defiant message comes after one month of regional war that was sparked on February 28 when Israel and the United States launched air strikes on Iran, killing its supreme leader and triggering a conflict that has spread across the Middle East.
Shipping traffic in the vital Strait of Hormuz — through which 20 percent of the world’s crude oil and liquefied natural gas normally passes — has been brought to a near-standstill by the conflict.
Mr. Ghalibaf called for unity among Iranians, saying the country was in “a major global war” that was “at its most critical stage”.
“We are certain that we can punish the United States, make it regret attacking Iran, and firmly secure our legitimate rights,” he said.
