Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi, commander of Iran’s Ground Forces, has said the deployment and readiness of the ground forces on the borders, accompanied by the IRGC and the Security Command, have “eliminated any audacity of the enemy to carry out ground operations against” Iran, ISNA reports.

While visiting the units of his force in the border areas, he said, “Today, even countries that once considered the establishment of American military bases a factor in their security have come to the conclusion that the presence of these bases is a source of insecurity and instability.”

Referring to the readiness of the rapid reaction units, special and assault forces of this force, Jahanshahi stated: “With the presence and vigilance of the ground force warriors and the powerful armed forces, the borders of our beloved Iran enjoy the necessary security.”
