Iran prepares mass graves for US troops on Tehran's outskirts

Iran's Behesht Zahra cemetery organization has prepared temporary burial sites for US soldiers who might be killed, as a proactive measure amid regional tensions. This marks an unprecedented step for the organization. The site is located on the outskirts of Tehran and is designed to hold thousands of potential casualties.

Iran's Mehr news agency reported that the Behesht Zahra organization has prepared temporary burial sites specifically for US soldiers on the outskirts of Tehran. This step is in preparation for potential conflict escalation, even though war has not begun. The organization's Public Relations Division stated that the action is unprecedented, driven by regional tensions and US activities in the area.

The burial site features several thousand graves prepared exclusively to hold casualties from US forces in a hypothetical scenario. Behesht Zahra is responsible for Tehran's largest cemetery and typically handles services for civilians and emergencies such as disasters or mass accidents. However, this is the first time the organization has announced specific preparations for foreign troops.

No official details were provided on implementation schedules or further specifics. The announcement highlights Iran's strategic readiness amid potential threats, though Iran has affirmed it will fight back if attacked.
