TEHRAN – Chief of the Iranian Army’s ground forces says his forces have boosted their offensive capabilities, Tasnim reported on Tuesday.

During a visit to a military base in northeast Iran, Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari said an upgrade in the mobility and effectiveness of the ground forces has increased their offensive power.

Mobility and agility are the main characteristics of the ground force, he said.
