Mohammad Hassan Kadiri Abianeh, Iran's former ambassador to Australia, said in an interview with the Iranian website Didban Iran that the United States is preparing a ground invasion of Iran, which could occur before the US congressional elections, possibly in the coming days. The claim is unverified and comes from a single Iranian source.
The claim by former ambassador Kadiri Abianeh follows a series of unverified statements from Iranian officials and analysts in recent weeks alleging an imminent US ground invasion of Iran. As The Zioneer has reported, similar claims have been made by former Iranian MP Rashidi Koochi and other figures. None of these claims have been independently corroborated by Western sources. The timing of the alleged invasion, according to Abianeh, would be before the US congressional elections, scheduled for November 2026. The claim remains speculative and unverified.
