JAKARTA - More than 1 million Iranians have been mobilized to face a possible ground confrontation with US forces.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a number of US Congress members, reported that ground operations by US forces in Iran were allegedly planned and could begin immediately.
Responding to the US plan to carry out a ground attack, Iranian military media said via the X platform, Thursday (26/3), Iran is ready to welcome the arrival of American soldiers.
"To all American soldiers! We hope you have been told that #IRAN is a place where Palestinian, Lebanese, Iraqi and Yemeni fighters train ground combat skills very professionally!" the media wrote, as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Friday, March 27.
"Welcome to Iran, buddy!"
On February 28, the US and Israel launched an attack on a number of targets in Iran, including in Tehran, which caused damage and killed civilians.
Iran then retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The US and Israel initially claimed the "preemptive strike" was necessary to counter the threat from Iran's nuclear program, but later they said the goal was to change the ruling regime in Iran.
The Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the first day of the US-Israeli military operation. The Iranian government then declared a 40-day mourning period.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called Khamenei's murder a cynical violation of international law, according to a report by RIA Novosti as quoted by Sputnik.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the US-Israeli operation and called for an immediate de-escalation and cessation of hostilities.
