Iran has published a video taunting the US President, saying he should rename the war from Operation Epic Fury to Operation Epic Fear because America won't put boots on the ground.  

In footage published by Tehran's semi-official Mehr News Agency, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, delivered 'a message to the President of the United States'.

Speaking in English, he mocks Donald Trump for his use of social media, telling the president: 'The outcome of war cannot be determined by tweets, the result of war is determined on the field.'

He continues: 'The very place where you and your forces do not dare approach and you can only talk about it in your tweets.'

Wearing military clothing, Zolfaghari ends his message with a mocking smile, telling Trump: 'It is better to name this war as Epic Fear, instead of Epic Fury.'

The video appears to be a jibe at the president's prolific use social media to issue commentary on the ongoing Israeli-US war on Tehran, which began on February 28 and triggered Iran's retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region. 

On his Truth Social platform, Trump recently declared that 'Iran is being decimated' and said the country was 'militarily ineffective and weak'.

He accused the regime of using artificial intelligence as a 'disinformation weapon' to misrepresent its support and wartime success, when in fact it is being 'annihilated by the day'.

Iran's deputy foreign minister recently warned the US that it faces another Vietnam if it puts boots on the ground in the war.

'Just read what happened in Vietnam,' Saeed Khatibzadeh, speaking in his office in Tehran, told Sky News.

'They understand those that dragged them into this war can drag them also into a quagmire,' he added, referring to the fate of American troops.

Trump has not ruled ‌out sending ?US ground soldiers into Iran. His Republicans, who have slim majorities in both houses of Congress, have almost unanimously backed his strategy on Tehran, with only a handful expressing doubt about the war.

Democratic US senators have expressed alarm about the conflict, however, saying they are worried that Trump could deploy US ground forces and noting the high risks ?given Russian support for Tehran's military. 

'We seem to be on a ?path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the ?potential objectives here,' Senator Richard Blumenthal said following a classified briefing from administration officials.
