“Any ground action by the enemy will be nipped in the bud,” the commander said in an interview released on Wednesday, according to the Army’s public relations office.

He characterized the recent shifts in Washington’s military rhetoric as clear indicators of a broader strategic failure, saying that Iran’s intelligent navigation of the complex chess match of modern warfare has forced the White House to constantly reset its political objectives.

Addressing the narrative of potential military confrontation, Sheikh emphasized that modern warfare is no longer solely about raw hardware or technological superiority. Instead, he defined strategic success as the art of battlefield management, where defense assets are combined with innovative thought.

He asserted that Iran has established a new defensive literature, effectively rendering the enemy’s conventional threats insufficient when faced with a nation that refuses to succumb to pressure.

The enemy is forced to change its political goals because it cannot achieve them through military means, Sheikh noted, framing this as a significant shift in global military paradigms.

The commander highlighted the effectiveness of Iran’s indigenous military advancements, specifically pointing to the Arash drone, which he described as a nightmare for adversaries.

Sheikh revealed that over 75% of Iran’s missile and drone capabilities remain fully intact and ready for deployment, underscoring the nation’s readiness for sustained, long-term operations.

He further noted that attempts to undermine national security, such as plots to instigate unrest in western Iran, are identified and nipped in the bud through proactive, preemptive defensive measures.

The Army commander stressed that Iran’s military strength serves as the backbone for its diplomacy. By acting from a position of power and deterrence, Iran has effectively altered regional security equations, proving that its sovereignty remains unassailable, he said.

He reaffirmed that while diplomatic avenues remain open, it is the country’s demonstrated military deterrence and operational continuity that ensure national security, allowing Iran to remain a key architect of regional stability.
