Iran Deploys Majority of Ground Forces Along Borders Amid Rising US Tensions
Iran has deployed most of its regular Army ground units, including special forces, rapid-response, mechanised, and artillery units, along its borders with a focus on the Makran coast by the Gulf of Oman. This move follows Iran placing its armed forces on Code 100, the highest alert level, amid concerns of a possible US ground invasion through southern coastal cities. Iranian authorities have not disclosed specific troop numbers or operational details, while tensions between Tehran and Washington remain elevated with mutual warnings of potential military escalation.
