The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has begun moving heavy equipment including missile launchers, drone trucks, and military vehicles across multiple cities in Iran, according to reports. The movements, reported in Shiraz, Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and other locations, include unusual activity in underground missile cities. Roads have been blocked and gas stations closed. The mobilization follows the IRGC's declaration of highest readiness and a shift to war protocols earlier today.
The reported movement of heavy equipment across Iran appears to be the operational execution of the IRGC's declaration earlier today that the country's armed forces were entering the highest readiness and transitioning to war protocols. As The Zioneer reported at 16:04 Jerusalem, the IRGC spokesman announced the shift to wartime footing, citing the need to confront regional threats.
The new reports, from a monitoring channel tracking Iranian military activity, indicate that the IRGC is now moving strategic assets — including missile launchers, unmanned aerial vehicles, and heavy military vehicles — across multiple provinces. The movements are concentrated in at least eight cities, including Shiraz, Tehran, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Qom, and include unusual activity in Iran's network of underground missile cities. Civil infrastructure measures such as road closures and fuel station shutdowns have been reported alongside the military movements.
The mobilization follows a period of heightened tension between Iran and the United States, which has included U.S. strikes on IRGC facilities in Shiraz and other southern Iranian locations in recent weeks. The IRGC's shift to war protocols and this large-scale equipment movement suggest a potential escalation in the ongoing confrontation, though the immediate operational intent remains unclear.
