TEHRAN – Iran has intensified activities along the western borders, deploying new missile equipment there, a commander in Iran's air defense forces said on Tuesday.

Second Brigadier General Alireza Elhami said additional missile equipment has been deployed to the western areas to strengthen the air defense coverage of the border regions, Tasnim reported.

The air defense has enhanced preparedness for “decisive response” to any act of aggression, he added.

The deployment of missiles coincides with the IRGC’s military drills across the country’s western borders.
