In a video released by the agency, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Amir Hatami was filmed during a meeting with other military leaders. IRNA summarized the key messages from his address.
"If the enemy tries to carry out ground operations, none of their soldiers should survive," the summary of Khatami's words reads.
"It is necessary to monitor the enemy's movements and actions with the utmost precision, moment by moment, and to implement plans to counter enemy attack methods," it added.
