He made the remarks during a visit to combat capabilities of Army Ground Forces units operating in western Iran, emphasizing that the units are on alert to confront any potential threats in border areas.

General Jahanshahi underlined that the Army Ground Forces are stationed along the country's borders and will be present with full force wherever Iran's security and interests require their presence and defense. The visit was part of ongoing assessments of military readiness in various regions of the country.

The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iranian officials frequently warning against any potential aggression. The commander's remarks reflect the military's preparedness to respond to any threat, particularly along the western borders.
