According to reports, the Iranian government has gathered more than a million soldiers in anticipation of a possible ground invasion by the United States.
According to reports, the US President believes that the best way to put pressure on Iran to accept Washington’s 15-point peace plan is through a ground operation.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Pentagon is currently considering deploying an additional 10,000 soldiers.
However, according to a military source in the ruling regime, Iranian youths are swarming to join the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in order to protect their nation.
On the 26th, Iran’s state-run Tasnim News Agency, citing a military source, reported, “In addition to organizing more than one million fighters for ground combat, in recent days there has been a massive influx of requests from Iranian youth directed towards the centers of Basij, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Army (Artesh) to also participate in this battle.”
The source asserted, “With the growing speculation about the possibility of a ‘historical folly’ by the U.S. in launching a ground invasion on the southern front of Iran, a wave of enthusiasm has emerged among Iranian ground fighters to create a ‘historical hell’ for the Americans on Iranian soil.”
It added, “The U.S. 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.”
It comes as Trump once again delayed plans to obliterate Iranian power plants in a bid to secure a deal to end the brutal conflict.
Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Tehran’s mullahs to reopen the vital strait on Monday, before dramatically calling it off until the weekend.
That d3adline has now been pushed to April 6.
