"Riazaty, in a post on the website Regime Change Iran, said the Iranian president emphasized his current theme that the return of the Shiite messiah, the Mahdi, is not far away, and Muslims must prepare for it. "

As part of his insurgency Moktada Al Sadr announced the formation of the AL-Mahdi Army. The 'Army of Mahdi' can never be disbanded according to Al Sadr who has an allegiance with Sistani the powerful Mullah from Iran.

This belief is held by Sunis also btw but whether or not they will eventually support this armed force is hard to say.

There have also been declarations of the Al Mahdi army in history but they were later declared false. Watch the movie 'Four Feathers'. Its about the Mahdi Army in Africa.
