Commander of Iran’s ground forces says his troops are “prepared for any scenario”

With thousands more U.S. military forces headed toward the Middle East and President Trump warning the next moves he orders against Iran “won’t be pretty” if it refuses to capitulate to his demands, the commander of Iran’s ground forces vowed Thursday that if America does launch an invasion, it will be met with “unwavering” resistance.

“Every inch of Iranian territory is being protected with the vigilance and readiness of our forces,” Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi told Iranian forces during a visit to one of the country’s borders, in a video clip shared by Iranian state media.

“All enemy movements along the borders are closely monitored, and we are prepared for any scenario,” Jahanshahi said. “The sons of our nation in the army, relying on God, stand resolute and unwavering on the frontlines of defense, and they will decisively neutralize the enemy.”
