US Marine reservists expressed confusion and frustration on Reddit after receiving a letter urging them to be prepared for potential deployment linked to Iran. The notice, sent by Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson IV, commander of Marine Forces Reserve, warned Marines to check their gear, readiness, and personal affairs in case mobilization orders are issued.
In his letter, Anderson emphasised that forces were already 'engaged in operations connected to Iran' and that any mass mobilisation 'could become reality,' language that caught many readers off guard and fuelled an online firestorm.
