TL;DR

The commander of the Iranian army's ground forces stated that rapid-response, special, and offensive units have been deployed along Iran's borders in full readiness. He claimed the deployment, coordinated with the IRGC and security forces, precludes any possibility of a ground operation against Iran, and said nations hosting US bases now see them as a source of instability.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The commander of the Iranian army's ground forces declared that rapid-response, special, and offensive units have been deployed along all of Iran's borders, asserting that the borders are at full readiness and in a stable security situation. According to the statement, the deployment is carried out jointly with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and security forces, and is intended to prevent any possibility of a ground operation against Iran.

The commander also claimed that countries that once viewed US military bases as a factor for their security now understand that the American presence is a source of instability and insecurity. The remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions between Tehran and Washington, which have included US strikes in southern Iran and repeated threats from both sides. The Zioneer has previously reported on the IRGC raising its alert level to the highest and vowing a 'decisive and swift' response to any US attack. The latest statement, from the regular army rather than the IRGC, reinforces the unified Iranian posture of military readiness along the borders.
