The Arabic Desk, run by Israeli intelligence analyst Abu Saleh, reported that Iran is actively preparing for ground raids and the airborne insertion of special forces. No further details were provided. The report is single-sourced and unverified.
Abu Saleh's Arabic Desk, a known intelligence analysis channel, reported on Wednesday evening that Iran is actively preparing for ground raids and the airborne insertion of special forces. The claim, attributed to an Iranian source, carries no further details and has not been independently verified.
The report comes amid sustained high tensions between Israel and Iran. The Zioneer has previously reported on US-Israel coordination on target division for potential deep strikes inside Iran, and on the IDF operating at its highest alert levels. This is not the first such claim from the channel; a previous report cited an Iranian source saying ground forces were preparing to confront US forces. No official Israeli or Iranian confirmation has been issued regarding this new claim.
