The Iranian Army’s Ground Force has deployed missile, drone and artillery units along the country’s northeastern border areas to give a “rapid and timely” response to any possible threat, says commander of the force.
Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari said on Monday that his forces are fully safeguarding the country’s independence and territorial integrity.
He said the Iranian Army’s Ground Force is designing and implementing a plan focusing on points where it needs more forces.
The Ground Force is weighing the plan in terms of missiles, drones and maneuvering forces on borders with the purpose of giving a firm and decisive response to the threats, he added.
‘Army’s Air Force at peak readiness in face of threats, billion-dollar plots’
Meanwhile, the deputy commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Force said the force enjoys a high level of defensive capabilities and is ready to confront any potential threats at any scale.
Brigadier General Mahdi Hadian said the high level of the country’s military preparedness has led to a sense of despair among adversaries in military confrontation and hardware against Iran.
He credited the highest preparedness level of the Armed Forces to the sacrifices of martyrs, the Islamic Revolution’s tenets, and the guidance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
He noted that enemies are spending billions of dollars in the field of hybrid and cognitive warfare to harm the country, but all their efforts have been futile thanks to the guidance of Ayatollah Khamenei and the Iranian nation’s wisdom.
Ayatollah Khamenei has repeatedly called for efforts to maintain and boost Iran’s defense capabilities.
In a meeting with the top commanders and officials of the Iranian Armed Forces in April, Ayatollah Khamenei lauded the great achievements and continuous progress in the Iranian Armed Forces, saying the enemy is “vincible” despite all its seemingly solid calculations and military power.
Iranian military experts and engineers have in recent years made remarkable breakthroughs in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous equipment, making the armed forces self-sufficient.
