Iran mobilises over 1 million ground troops to counter US invasion threat
The possibility of a potential US invasion on the southern front of Iran has triggered enthusiasm among Iran's ground fighters who want to offer the US a "historic hell" on Iranian soil.
Amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East, Iran is mobilising more than one million ground troops to fight against the United States, Iran's local news outlet Tansim News reported, citing a source from the military.
The development came amid a possibility of the US launching a ground invasion on the southern front of Iran. The report mentioned that the possibility of a potential US attack has triggered enthusiasm among the ground fighters of the country, who now want to offer the US "historical hell" on the soil of Iran.
The military source further told Tansim News that, in addition to the mobilisation of over one million ground troops, there has been a significant surge in recruitment interest among Iranian youth. In recent days, a massive influx of requests has been directed toward the Basij, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and the Army, as young volunteers formally petition for deployment to the front lines.
"The US wants to open the Strait of Hormuz with suicide and self-destructive tactics; that's fine. We are ready for both their suicide strategy to be executed and for the Strait to remain closed,” the source added.
TRUMP ISSUED THREATS TO IRAN
Amid the ongoing standoff, US President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Iran, urging Tehran to "get serious" about the 15-point truce proposal that the US sent. He threatened Iran amid reports that Washington has put forward a detailed plan to end the conflict, even as Tehran rejected direct negotiations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump blasted Iran’s approach. "The Iranian negotiators are very different and 'strange.' They are 'begging' us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only 'looking at our proposal.' Wrong!" he wrote.
"They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty! President DJT," he further added.
