The commander of Iran’s Army Ground Forces, Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi, has revealed that reconnaissance missions have been conducted across the country to identify locations that hostile forces might use to land or enter Iranian territory, including abandoned airports, Ajel.sa reports.
This comes as more than 50 combat and support units remain deployed along the borders since the outbreak of the recent war.
In an interview with Fars News Agency, republished by Iranian media on Saturday, Jahanshahi said these units remain in position and are prepared to respond to threats and carry out operations. He added that the army has assigned specific units to address potential sites that could be exploited by enemy forces.
According to Jahanshahi, the deployment stretches from the northwest to the west and southwest of the country, as well as from the east to the southeast and the Makran coast. The forces include mobile brigades, rapid reaction troops, armored and mechanized units, as well as artillery, engineering, missile, and drone divisions.
Jahanshahi explained that personnel, ammunition, and equipment were transported using heavy vehicles during nighttime movements conducted under the threat of hostile aircraft and drones. He stated that this deployment has helped deter any attempts to enter Iranian territory.
