Rapid-response and mechanized army units from a force of 420,000 men have concentrated along Iran's northwestern, western, southwestern, eastern, and northeastern borders and the Makran coast. Ground Forces Commander Ali Jahanshahi said Sunday that special forces and artillery units are operating in these frontier regions with full support. The mobilization coincides with a reported "Code 100" issuance, the highest military alert level across the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and army.

Tehran is awaiting a response from President Donald Trump regarding peace terms relayed through Qatari and Pakistani mediators. Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei told Al Jazeera that negotiations require the release of frozen Iranian assets, the lifting of a naval blockade, and a cessation of war on all fronts. Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reported that these talks remain stalled after months of deadlock.

Iranian security officials stated a readiness for a "decisive war," citing vulnerabilities in the US military and a recent anti-ship missile test near a US aircraft carrier. Turkey and other nations have presented new proposals to end the conflict, warning that economic fallout is exceeding the tolerance of the affected countries. Tehran also indicated it wants the war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen to end.
