Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi made the remarks during a visit to Army Ground Force units in southeastern Iran on Sunday, emphasizing that the country’s Ground Force has prepared itself over recent years to confront various ground threats through continuous, precise and specialized training.

He warned that Iran would deliver a “decisive and deterrent response” to any hostile action, saying, “If the foot of an American military personnel enters Iran, we will cut it off.”

The commander added that the enemy has been brought to its knees in the face of the determination of Iran’s Armed Forces and people.
