The Iranian's we're so scared of?
Well they have been standing up something like 1000 new volunteer units.
Just in case the US or allies get interested in a ground campaign.
Meanwhile, Iran's has at times said they could easily launch a large scale ground offensive if they felt the need to.
I imagine these sorts of units could also represent beefed up defense to protect Iran during such an offensive or an American ground attack.
Included in the expanding ranks of Iran's mobilization push are women only units.
It's pretty ironic, the Basij militia was known in the past for upholding morality laws in public spaces... now they have having their first set of women joining their ranks.
In much the same way that Liberals love to celebrate queers and femmes in the army, so to the Iranian state can play the "girl boss" game too.
Update's this week from Yemen. Saudi fighter jets bombed Sanaa and various areas liberated but Yemen's Houthi coalition of "free tribes"
Meanwhile the free tribes continued their strategic encirclement of Taizz.
Saudi backed forces in revenge committed acts of war crimes including filming themselves killing surrendering PoWs.
While it's not clear if the free tribes have captured the city of Taizz just yet OSINT accounts have found footage showing the Houthi coallition has already captured significant military equipment from the Saudi weapons caches in the area.
The video below appears to show a rocket artillery system with over 30km of range being hauled off by the Houthi led fighters.
The young men fighting on the side of the Houthi led free tribes have frequently filmed their advances into cities.
I don't post every otg combatant field report but in light of the very recent Saudi War crimes (bombing hospitals and killing PoWs) this video from Houthi is a critical historical touch point on the difference in how these groups present themselves.
At the 7-9min mark Houthi fighters setup IVs and provide wounded captured troops immediate battlefield medical treatment.
Throughout this week the US & Iran have BOTH been doing strikes on oil tankers.
The US has been striking targets in Iran (likely CENTCOM's idea of softening anti-air defence).
Anyways... Iran seems to have responded to the latest US aggression by striking Aramco tower in King Abdullah Financial District, Riyadh.

I don't know enough to comment whether it's Russian 152mm or NATO 155mm or something else, but it's very much traditional projectile-out-of-a-barrel-propelled-by-explosion artillery, not rocket systems.
Edit: also at 0:19-0:21 the video does something very strange to the barrel of the artillery unit there.
I agree, and I should have been more accurate I believe the full claim is that the weapons cache included RAP ammo compatible with the catered towed artillery.
I don't know the exact ammo claim but there seem to be a few RAP systems for at least soviet mounted arti.
