Iran’s military alertness main ‘deterrent’ against enemy miscalculations: Top commander
A senior Iranian commander said the constant alertness and readiness of the country’s Armed Forces constitute the “most important deterrent” against any adventurism or miscalculation by enemies.
Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi made the remarks on Saturday during a visit to a mobile assault brigade in the city of Piranshahr, West Azarbaijan Province, which was conducted to assess the combat readiness and operational capabilities of the units.
He said the Army’s Ground Forces are “continuously and vigilantly” defending Iran’s territory as they are monitoring and neutralizing all the enemy’s actions and threats.
He pointed to the guidelines of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about the importance of maintaining full readiness in the face of the enemy, saying the Armed Forces’ alertness is the key factor that deters enemies from any action against Iran’s interests and security.
“The Ground Forces have reached a level of capability and deterrence that can nip any threat in the bud,” Jahanshahi emphasized.
He stressed the importance of enhancing combat capabilities, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and up-to-date tactics against asymmetric threats, and conducting regular maneuvers and tactical drills in the region.
The top commander added that the Ground Forces will not allow ill-wishers to carry out any measure against Iran’s territory.
Jahanshahi’s warning comes after weeks of escalating rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran.
The US began its war rhetoric against Iran after recent foreign-linked riots, during which Trump talked about coming to the aid of the armed mercenaries.
Since then, the US president has kept threatening military action, deploying two carrier groups and dozens of fighter jets, bombers, and refueling aircraft to regional waters near Iran.
