Iran has ordered the deployment of civil defense teams nationwide, according to a security field report. The directive explicitly prepares for 'anticipated US strikes' and underscores Tehran’s assessment that a significant military escalation is imminent. The move follows weeks of heightened US military activity against Iranian targets, including a series of strikes that analysts say have gone beyond retaliation for the downing of a US Apache helicopter, as The Zioneer reported on June 10. The civil defense order signals that Iran's leadership considers further US action likely rather than hypothetical. No details on the scale, timeline, or geographic scope of the deployments have been released. The status of Iran's air defense and missile forces remains unclear. The report comes from a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
