Iran’s Army Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Kiumars Heidari says his force is vigilant and fully ready to crush enemies in case they make any misadventure.
"Iran’s Army Ground Force is always awake, alert and ready to crush the shameful lives of the enemies in case of any mistakes,” Heidari said on Saturday.
It is imperative for Iranian military units to constantly promote their combat readiness and deterrent power to improve the Islamic Republic’s sustainable security, he added.
The top commander noted that the Ground Forces are trying to keep their full vigilance and rely on state-of-the-art defense and security achievements to maintain border security.
US President Donald Trump has ratcheted up war rhetoric against Iran as he claimed that Tehran can be dealt with either through military means or by reaching a deal over its nuclear program.
On Monday, Trump also signaled a significant escalation, threatening Iran over any operations carried out by Yemen against Israel.
However, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Friday that US threats against Iran "will get them nowhere."
The Leader added that Americans "and others should know that if they do anything malign to the Iranian nation, they will get a hard slap."
