BlockBeats message. March 27. Iran’s parliamentary speaker Kalibaf today made a tough statement regarding the potential threat of a ground invasion, saying: “The U.S. can’t even protect its own soldiers in its bases in this region. They can only hide them in hotels and parks. Under these circumstances, how could they possibly protect those soldiers on our territory?”
Earlier, Iran’s foreign minister Aragchi posted on social media, accusing the U.S. military of using civilians from Gulf Cooperation Council member states as “human shields,” and urging these countries’ hotels to refuse U.S. military bookings. Since this war began, the U.S. military has fled its military bases in GCC countries and taken shelter in hotels and office facilities. (CCTV International News)
According to monitoring by PolyBeats, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability that U.S. ground forces will enter Iran by the end of this month is currently 16%, and the probability of entering Iran by the end of April is 63%.
Earlier today, a source with the U.S. Department of Defense revealed that the Pentagon is considering sending up to 10,000 additional ground forces to the Middle East, so as to provide it with more military options as Trump weighs whether to negotiate with Iran. These forces—possibly including infantry and armored vehicles—would join the ranks of about 5,000 Marines already ordered to be deployed to the region and the thousands of paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division.

Premier League Tottenham vs Brighton is a crucial matchup, with Polymarket forecasting a 50% chance that Tottenham will be relegated
Tottenham Hotspur this season has surged from Europa League champions all the way to the relegation zone, facing a relegation battle. In the 14 matches without a win, the team has been hit by a series of injuries and a change in head coach, and an ESPN report says that poor passing ability is a key factor. Sunday’s match against Brighton will be a do-or-die game for survival; if they lose, it will seriously affect morale and the standings. Successful survival requires three major conditions, and for a former “pyramid” club, relegation will inevitably cause a major loss.
