In a dramatic development that could mark a turning point in Middle Eastern hostilities, Iranian military authorities have publicly declared their readiness to deploy forces with the intent of entering Israeli territory amid the ongoing conflict.
The announcement, broadcast through Iranian state media and echoed by senior commanders within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), signals a significant escalation in the confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Iranian officials framed the move as a direct response to what they described as continued Israeli aggression and destabilizing actions across the region, particularly in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
Military sources in Tehran said Iran is “fully prepared” for a wider engagement and will not hesitate to act if provoked further. The deployment, they warned, could involve not only direct Iranian military units but also allied forces from across the so-called Axis of Resistance, including Hezbollah and other regional militias aligned with Iran’s strategic interests.
Though Israel has not officially responded to the latest declaration, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have reportedly placed key units on high alert and are closely monitoring cross-border movements, particularly along the northern front. Security analysts believe that any Iranian military incursion would be met with immediate and forceful retaliation, raising fears of a broader regional war.
This announcement comes against the backdrop of already heightened military activity, with both countries accusing each other of cross-border strikes, cyberattacks, and proxy warfare. It also follows a series of military drills conducted by Iran simulating large-scale offensives and missile deployments.
