Iran has issued a strong warning, saying its armed forces will respond firmly to any foreign invasion as tensions continue to rise in the region.
A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Ebrahim Zolfaghari, said on Tuesday that Iran’s military would “cut off the legs” of any aggressor attempting to enter the country.

Reports also suggest that Russian Chechen units could be deployed to Iran if there is a US ground invasion, although this has not been officially confirmed.
At the same time, a report by The Wall Street Journal stated that US President Donald Trump is considering ending the ongoing US military campaign against Iran. According to officials, he may scale down operations within four to six weeks, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
The move could allow Iran to maintain control over the key waterway, shifting focus towards diplomatic efforts to reopen it. Officials believe the US may declare success after weakening Iran’s naval and missile capabilities without continuing a long military operation.
Meanwhile, Iran is taking steps to strengthen its control over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping routes for oil.
Iran’s Parliament Security Committee has approved a new management plan for the Strait. The plan includes imposing tolls on ships passing through, introducing security and safety measures, and protecting the environment.
The proposal also bans American and Israeli vessels from passing through the Strait. In addition, countries that have imposed sanctions on Iran may also face restrictions. The plan highlights Iran’s authority over the region and includes cooperation with Oman to develop a legal framework.
These developments come as the conflict between Iran and the US-Israel alliance enters its second month, raising concerns over global oil supply and regional stability.
Earlier, Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the United States of secretly planning a ground invasion. He warned that Iran is fully prepared and also threatened action against regional countries that support US operations.
The situation remains tense, with both military and political developments shaping the future of the conflict in West Asia.
