TEHRAN, March. 25 (YPA) – The representative of the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, addressed a message to American soldiers, saying: “Come closer.”
He added that Iran has been preparing and training for many years, indicating that his country is ready for war.
Ahmadian’s statements came after American reports that the Department of Defense is preparing to send about 3,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East in the context of a “war with Iran.”
Previously, The American New York Times Newspaper reported that Pentagon officials are considering deploying an airborne unit of about 3,000 personnel as part of a war with Iran, with the possibility of using it in any potential attack on Kharg Island.
It is worth noting that Kharg Island, one of the most important strategic points for Iranian oil exports, is located about 30 kilometers off the Iranian coast in the Gulf.
