Iran Reportedly Activates Highest Military Alert Amid Rising Middle East Tensions
Reports indicate Iran may have activated 'Code 100,' its highest military alert, amid rising tensions with the US, Israel, and Gulf states. This alert reportedly places Iran's armed forces, including the IRGC and regular army, on maximum readiness following missile and drone attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi forces on Riyadh. While US President Trump cut short his Camp David stay for security briefings, Iranian state media has not confirmed the alert. The situation reflects heightened regional military preparedness amid escalating conflicts.
