Iran reportedly mobilises over one million soldiers ahead of US invasion

‎The Iranian authorities have reportedly mobilised over one million troops in preparation for a potential U.S. ground invasion.

‎

‎According to report, US President, Donald Trump is said to be convinced that a ground operation is the most effective way to pressure Iran into accepting Washington‘s 15-point peace plan.

‎

‎The Pentagon is now weighing sending 10,000 more troops, according to The Wall Street Journal.

‎

‎But a military source within the ruling regime claimed that Iranian youths are lining up in their droves to enlist in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to defend the country.

‎

‎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 said, “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.”

‎

‎The new development comes as Trump once again delayed plans to obliterate Iranian power plants in a bid to secure a deal to end the brutal conflict.

‎

‎The US leader had issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Tehran’s mullahs to reopen the vital strait on Monday, before dramatically calling it off until the weekend.

‎

‎Trump has now pushed the deadline to April 6.
