Chechen military units have announced their readiness to deploy to Iran to support the Iranian armed forces in the event of a US ground invasion, according to reports.

The forces, loyal to Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia’s Chechen Republic, describe the ongoing American-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic of Iran as a religious war.

They describe their possible direct intervention as a jihad – a battle of good versus evil – in defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran against American and allied forces.

The development comes as the unprovoked and illegal US-Israeli war against Iran continues to intensify, with reports that the US forces, on the orders of President Donald Trump, are pressing for a ground offensive after the failure of the air campaign over the past several weeks.

The war was launched on February 28, in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, with the assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, some top-ranking commanders and ordinary civilians, including over 170 schoolchildren in southern Iran’s Minab.
