TEHRAN- Brigadier General Amir Gholam-Aliyan, the commander of the Army Ground Force in southeast Iran, has provided insights into the latest developments regarding the border blockade in the region.

Emphasizing the imperative of completing the border blockade program covering a 270 km area by year's end, he highlighted the strategic significance of securing these borders.

General Gholam-Aliyan underscored the unparalleled safety of Iran's borders, labeling the ongoing actions to fortify them as "unprecedented in the nation's history." 

"The Army's presence along the northern frontier of Sistan and Baluchestan province, overlooking Afghanistan's borders, is pivotal," he remarked.

He further noted that the blockade initiative along the Afghanistan border, commenced eight months ago, has yielded positive outcomes.

Earlier in March, the Commander of Iran’s Army Ground Force Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari, underscored the extensive deployment of forces across all national borders. 

Highlighting the significant contributions of these warriors, he emphasized their collaboration with the Islamic Revolution Guards' Ground Forces and border patrol, collectively working to establish and maintain stable security.

General Heidari provided insights into the strategic positioning of the Ground Forces at the country's borders. “Divisions and regional bases are actively engaged in fulfilling their roles to bolster national security,” he added.

Heidari reiterated the steadfast presence of the Army's Ground Forces at all national borders, emphasizing the enduring commitment of these warriors to ensuring continuous stable security.

He stressed that Iran's primary objective is to ensure stability and security within its borders, a responsibility shouldered by its Armed Forces.

Addressing ongoing efforts, he discussed the meticulous process of clearing areas contaminated with mines and remnants from the Iran-Iraq war era. 

In early January, General Heidari warned that any hostile rhetoric or actions against Iran would be met with a "crushing response."

Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari emphasized that safeguarding the nation's borders is a fundamental aspect of the army’s operations. 

He asserted, "In the event of any hostile actions threatening our interests, we are prepared to respond with force." 

Brigadier General Heidari emphasized that the Army's ground force is firmly stationed at all four corners of the country's borders and will not hesitate to defend Iran's interests.

He added that if the enemies try to undermine Iran’s security or interests, the army will respond with force.
