Iran has warned the United States of potential attacks on American universities, as the U.S. prepares to deploy ground troops in the region. The warning comes as tensions between the two countries escalate.

The Iranian government has accused the U.S. of planning a ground assault, and has threatened to retaliate against American targets. This includes universities, which are seen as potential targets due to their high-profile presence in the region.

The warning was issued by the Iranian government in a statement released on Sunday, March 29, 2026. The statement accused the U.S. of planning a 'large-scale' ground assault, and warned that Iran would respond 'decisively' if such an attack were to occur.

The U.S. has not commented on the Iranian warning, but sources close to the White House have confirmed that the administration is considering deploying ground troops to the region. The move is seen as a response to Iran's growing military presence in the region, and its support for militant groups.

The situation is developing rapidly, and it remains to be seen how the U.S. and Iran will respond to each other's actions. One thing is certain, however: the situation is highly volatile, and the potential for conflict is high.
