Iranian leaders warn of mass mobilization, issue direct threats, and signal readiness for escalation amid ongoing US-Israeli attacks.

Key Developments

• Ghalibaf says nearly 7 million Iranians have volunteered to take up arms in defense of the country.
• Hatami warns that no enemy troops should survive any ground attack on Iranian territory.
• IRGC commander Majid Mousavi issues direct threat to US leadership as tensions continue to escalate.

‘Bring It On’

Iranian officials on Thursday issued some of their strongest warnings yet since the start of the US-Israeli war, pairing threats of wider retaliation with declarations of mass popular readiness for battle.

The sharpest political message came from Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who said a nationwide campaign had already drawn millions of volunteers prepared to defend the country.

“Right now, in less than a week, a powerful national campaign sweeping the country has brought forward around 7 million Iranians who have already stepped up and declared they’re ready to pick up arms and stand in defense of our nation,” Ghalibaf wrote on X.

He followed that with an even more direct warning: “You come for our home… you’re gonna meet the whole family. Locked, loaded, and standing tall. Bring it on.”

‘No Survivors’

Those remarks did not emerge in isolation. Just last week, Tasnim reported that more than one million Iranian combatants had already been organized for possible ground confrontation with US forces, while describing a wider influx of young volunteers to Basij, IRGC, and army centers.

That earlier report gives Ghalibaf’s new figure a clearer military and political backdrop: the Iranian leadership is presenting the current confrontation not simply as an exchange of strikes, but as a moment of national mobilization.

The military tone was reinforced by Army commander Amir Hatami, who ordered operational headquarters to monitor “enemy movements with utmost pessimism and accuracy” and remain ready to counter any method of attack.

Reuters, citing Iranian state media, reported Hatami’s warning in blunt terms: “No enemy troops should survive if adversaries attempt a ground operation.”

‘Hollywood Illusions’

That message was echoed in even harsher language by IRGC Aerospace Force commander Majid Mousavi.

In a post carried by Defa Press, Mousavi responded to recent US threats by writing: “You are the one who is taking your soldiers to the grave, not Iran, who wants to take it back to the Stone Age.”

He added: “Hollywood illusions have so contaminated your thinking that you are threatening a civilization that is more than 6,000 years old with a meager 250-year history.” Palestine Chronicle
