FARS News Agency:
Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan underscored that his forces’ cutting-edge defense missiles and rockets are capable of countering any hostile move against the country.
“Rocket-launching units of the Iranian Army Ground Forces possess very good capability and capacity,” Brigadier General Pourdastan told reporters on Tuesday night.
“Our missiles have been reinforced and upgraded both in their range and destructive power,” Pourdastan added.
He went on to say that the Iranian Army’s missiles have passed testing stages in recent wargames dubbed Beit al-Moqaddas 27 held by the Army’s Ground Forces in May.
The Iranian commander also said that the country’s troops are “soldiers of Islam” and will not violate the integrity of any country.
Last month, Pourdastan underlined that the country’s enemies do not dare to attack Iran due to the domestically-grown deterrence power of its Armed Forces.
“We have home-made weapons and equipment, and the preparedness of our Armed Forces caused the (US-led) coalition forces who were close to our borders not to dare to attack us,” Brigadier General Pourdastan said.
The Iranian Ground Force commander underlined that the US has changed its war tactics and has resorted to proxy wars due to the preparedness of the Army, IRGC and Basij (Volunteer) forces.
“After the September 11, 2001, the US had not come to only capture Iraq and Afghanistan… , but their main intention was Iran; but they could not do anything due to Iran’s power,” Brigadier General Pourdastan said.
