How Iran’s Multi-Layered Defenses Could Repel a US Ground Invasion

According to a British newspaper, Iran has spent four decades and billions to prepare for a potential US ground incursion. It has built interlocking defense layers that combine long- and medium-range air defenses, portable anti-air missiles, and natural barriers like the Zagros Mountains. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij militia stand ready with over a million fighters trained for asymmetric warfare. Any US operation to seize enriched uranium would face enormous logistical hurdles. Iran’s key sites lie hundreds of miles from staging bases and are often buried under rubble. Packaging and extracting near-weapons-grade uranium under fire would stretch any force to its breaking point. Tehran has warned that any ground assault would trigger broader regional attacks. It could open new fronts across the Gulf and the Red Sea, aiming to impose costs far exceeding the mission’s objective of seizing 450kg of enriched uranium.
