'U.S. to face "quagmire" if attacks Iran: commander
TEHRAN (Reuters) - The United States or its allies would find themselves trapped in a "quagmire deeper than Iraq and Afghanistan" if it chose to attack the Islamic Republic, Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander said on Wednesday.
The United States has not ruled out military action if diplomacy fails to end a row over Iran' nuclear ambitions, which Washington says is aimed at building atomic bombs despite Tehran's denials.
"If the enemies show inexperience and want to invade Islamic Iran, they will receive a strong slap from Iran," the Guards commander-in-chief, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said in comments carried by the semi-official Fars News Agency.
"The enemy knows that if it attacks Iran it will be trapped in a quagmire deeper than Iraq and Afghanistan, and they will have to withdraw in defeat," he said, without mentioning the United States by name.
The Revolutionary Guards are an ideologically driven force that has a separate command structure to the regular Iranian military, answering directly to the Islamic Republic's top authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Guards commanders have previously warned that their forces could disrupt the vital oil shipping lanes of the Gulf waterway if pushed but have also said U.S. forces are too bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan to open a new front.'
