Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Ground Force Commander Mohsen Karamini stated on the 22nd that the ground forces are at their peak in morale and combat readiness, always prepared to decisively respond to any infringement on the country’s borders.

He said that any act of aggression by the invaders will be met with a strong response. Regardless of the level of aggression, the ground forces will retaliate very quickly and destructively.

According to U.S. reports on the 19th, at least 2,200 soldiers from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are expected to depart from San Diego in the coming days aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island, heading to the Middle East. Additionally, at least one other ship is expected to accompany them, meaning thousands of sailors will be deployed together.

U.S. President Trump on the 21st demanded Iran fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or the U.S. military will destroy Iran’s major power plants.

Furthermore, on the 20th, U.S. officials announced that detailed plans have been made for deploying U.S. ground forces to Iran. However, the White House currently remains cautious, stating there are “no plans” to immediately send ground troops.
