Pourdastan emphasized that the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces have high operational capability and would nip the threats in the bud.
He said that the Armed Forces are completely ready to repel any potential move by the ISIL terrorists against Iran.
“We will not allow the ISIL terrorist group to approach the country’s borders. We are fully prepared to counter them,” he said, Press TV reported.
