TEHRAN: Iran’s Army Chief Major General Amir Hatami, on Thursday, issued a stern warning to adversaries of the Islamic Republic, stating that any potential ground offensive against the country would be met with decisive and lethal force, as reported by Iran’s semi-official state media, Fars News Agency.
According to Fars News Agency, Hatami asserted that “not a single” life will be spared if ground invasion is undertaken by the enemy, particularly referring to the possible ground invasion by the US and Israeli forces as the conflict escalates in the region, underscoring Tehran’s readiness to escalate its military response if required.
“If the enemy undertakes a ground operation, not a single one should escape with their life,” he said, as quoted by Fars News Agency.
The Iranian Army chief asserted that the country’s armed forces are fully prepared across both offensive and defensive domains to counter any form of aggression and emphasised the need for constant surveillance of adversary movements, calling for “utmost suspicion and precision” in monitoring developments and executing counter-strategies at the appropriate time.
General Hatami further reiterated that Iran’s broader military strategy is aimed at ensuring national security while deterring external threats, adding that Iran would continue its efforts until its strategic objectives are achieved.
“The army is prepared in both offensive and defensive domains to counter any aggression from the enemy, and it is necessary to monitor the movements and actions of the enemies with utmost suspicion and precision, moment by moment, and to execute plans to counter the enemy’s assault methods at the appropriate time,” he said, as quoted by Fars News Agency.
“The strategy of Islamic Iran is clear: the shadow of war must be lifted from our country, and security must exist for all; it cannot be that some places are secure while our people are not in security. We will not let go of our enemies until we achieve the outlined objectives,” he added. (ANI)
