Iran issued a new threat directed at U.S. military personnel on Wednesday evening, urging American soldiers to contact their families and apologize, saying they are 'welcome to hell.' The warning, carried via official Iranian channels, escalates rhetorical brinkmanship amid ongoing U.S.-Iran indirect talks and follows a wave of similar threats from Tehran over the past two days. No operational movements have been confirmed.
The latest threat from Iran escalates the rhetorical war of nerves already underway. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (17:01 UTC), an Iranian military adviser urged US Marines to say goodbye to their families — a message the new statement sharpens: it now commands soldiers to 'apologize' and declares them 'welcome to hell.' The warning (17:31 UTC) follows a string of Iranian threats over the past 48 hours. Tehran warned Israel on June 9 that 'if you return, we will return,' and an Iranian army spokesman on the same day demanded all US bases be evacuated from the region. On June 10, Iran promised 'the harshest response since the ceasefire.' An earlier article (16:12 UTC) reported Iranian missile units at launch readiness and a 'bitter' attack being prepared. None of these threats have been followed by confirmed operational movement. The messaging appears aimed at psychological warfare — testing the US-Israeli coalition's resolve while indirect negotiations with Washington continue. The source of this bulletin is a single official Iranian channel; no independent corroboration of any deployment is available yet.
