Iran has mobilized over one million fighters in preparation for potential military confrontation with U.S. forces, according to a military source cited by Tasnim news agency on Thursday. Iranian officials have characterized planned U.S. military operations in the region as "historical madness," warning that Washington intends to use "suicide and self-destructive tactics" to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The large-scale mobilization represents a significant escalation in regional tensions, with Iranian military leadership signaling readiness for direct engagement with American armed forces should such a conflict occur.
