A senior Iranian military commander has said his country’s forces are prepared to confront US troops directly if Washington launches a ground attack.
Tehran, Iran – Web Desk: A senior Iranian military commander has said that Iranian forces are prepared and waiting to confront United States troops should Washington launch a ground offensive against Iran, according to an Iranian news agency.
Brigadier General Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior commander at Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said Iranian forces remain ready at every moment to face US soldiers in the event of a ground attack. His remarks were carried by an Iranian state-linked news agency, and their content has not been independently verified by international outlets at this stage.
According to the report, Brigadier General Asadi described the confrontation with what he termed the “enemy” as a prolonged and continuous struggle, stating that it is not one that will come to an end.
He was further quoted as saying that Iranian forces hope for a direct battlefield encounter with US troops, framing it as an opportunity to confront them face to face.
The remarks come amid a period of heightened tension between Iran and the United States, with military and diplomatic friction between the two countries remaining a closely watched issue across the region. No immediate response to the commander’s statement had been reported from US officials at the time of publication.
The comments add to a series of statements from Iranian military officials in recent months addressing the country’s defense posture and its stance toward potential US military action. As regional tensions persist, further statements from either side are expected to be closely monitored by observers tracking the broader security situation in the Middle East.
