Iran Boasts Decades of War Prep, Welcomes U.S. Ground Invasion

Iran's regime mouthpiece Seyed Mohammad Marandi declared that Tehran has spent decades preparing for a U.S. ground invasion and has introduced a new missile to the conflict, as U.S. airstrikes struck underground weapons facilities across Iran on the eighth consecutive day of escalating hostilities. The openly defiant posture of a heavily armed Iran — boasting buried arsenals, dispersed missile networks, and readiness for land warfare — mirrors the prophetic picture of a militarised Persian power positioned for major end-times conflict in the Middle East. Scripture identifies Persia (modern Iran) as a key nation in the coalition that will march against Israel in the last days, as foretold in Ezekiel 38:5.
