More than 50 combat and support units now hold Iran’s borders under high alert, deployed by ground forces commander Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi with armored brigades, drone units, and artillery positioned against cross-border incursions.
Ground forces dug channels and tunnels while erecting defensive earthen barriers to protect personnel and hardware after the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in June 2025 saw U.S. strikes hit nuclear facilities in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. The military undertook comprehensive planning to form this defensive posture.
Units Guard Five Regional Sectors
Military planners distributed the units across the country’s northern, western, southern, and eastern perimeters. The deployment stretches from the northwest and west down to the southwest, encompassing the eastern reaches, the southeast, and the Makran coast to guard against potential ground incursions.
Ground forces transferred large volumes of ammunition and equipment to frontline positions under the ongoing threat of aerial surveillance using heavy transport vehicles operating under the cover of night to evade enemy drones and aircraft.
These measures have helped create a state of deterrence and prevented the enemy from daring to enter the country's borders.

Troops operate in demanding terrain where summer temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius alongside high humidity. The military conducted nationwide reconnaissance to identify abandoned airfields and remote landing strips that hostile forces might target for airborne insertion.
Engineers Build Bunkers And Stockpiles
Army leaders updated tactical structures to integrate smart, network-connected weaponry across armored, mechanized, and rapid-reaction formations to boost coordination under fire after engineers built reinforced bunkers, firing positions, and underground tunnels designed to absorb airstrikes and limit troop casualties inside military bases.
Iran has preserved its missile and drone manufacturing plants despite months of joint U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to Western intelligence assessments cited by Bloomberg. Tehran retains solid stockpiles of ballistic weapons and anti-ship systems, challenging assertions from Washington that the country’s military production capacity was entirely dismantled.
Military leadership announced plans to further extend missile ranges as American forces maintain defensive positions within striking distance of the nation’s coastline, while army spokespersons confirmed that manufacturing lines for attack drones and precision munitions operated continuously throughout the conflict.
Police Stations Sustain Damage
A memorandum of understanding was signed in June. Diplomatic channels remain stalled over disputes concerning navigation rights in the strategic Strait of Hormuz vital to global energy supplies. Iran’s top military command insists that armed forces remain prepared to deliver a decisive response to any renewed threat, leaving the final resolution of the Strait of Hormuz dispute open.
