Iran Army’s Offensive Power Enhanced: Commander


TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari said his forces have boosted their offensive capabilities.

During a visit to a military base in northeast Iran, General Heidari said an upgrade in the mobility and effectiveness of the Ground Force units has increased their offensive power.

Mobility and agility are the main characteristics of the Army Ground Force, he added.

The commander also said that updated ordnance and military equipment has enabled the Army to combat any threat.

Last week, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei urged the Iranian Armed Forces to boost their military capabilities and preparedness in such a way that the enemies would not ever dare think of threatening the country.

“Increase your capabilities and preparedness as much as you can, so that the enemies of Iran would not even dare threaten this great (Iranian) nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
