We Are Preparing for War

TEHRAN (Iran News) The Five Strategic Principles of the Army Ground Force:

Leadership-centered (Velayat-oriented); Justice-centered; Efficiency; Technology; and skill enhancement

Brigadier General Jahanshahi stressed that the direction of the Army Ground Force is defined according to these five principles and by the direct instructions of Iran’s leader in his appointment order.

Based on this, his main mission is: “Making worthy efforts to enhance mobility, efficiency, human capital, and weaponry and equipment in responding to modern threats by utilizing spiritual strength, experience, available capacities, and emerging technologies.”

He also referred to the experience of the 12-day imposed war and the transition of warfare from a hard form to “cognitive and hybrid warfare”, declaring the full readiness of the force under his command to respond to any threat.

Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi, who was appointed commander of the Army Ground Force in Azar 1404 (December 2025), possesses widely praised command and staff experience.

His record reflects these qualifications: Deputy for Field Oversight and Evaluation, Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters (2020–2025); Coordinating Deputy of the Army Ground Force (2016–2020); Commander of the Northeastern Regional Headquarters of the Ground Force (2013–2016); Commander of the 77th Khorasan Infantry Division (2010–2013); a Commander of the 04 Training Center in Birjand (2007–2010); and Readiness Outlook

The new commander of the Army Ground Force has outlined upcoming programs within the framework of the five principles, with the following objectives:

• A Mobile, Agile, and Efficient Force:

Emphasis on becoming a force that will have significant capabilities in future wars.

• Use of Emerging Technologies:

Artificial intelligence

Strengthening drone and air-defense sectors

Cooperation with knowledge-based companies and scientific elites

• Modernization and Upgrading:

Updating weapons and enhancing capabilities in areas such as electronic warfare, missile systems, and artillery

• Strengthening Human Capital:

Improving their livelihood and morale

This strategic framework outlines the roadmap for Iran’s Army Ground Force under the new command.

Therefore, both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, with exceptional morale, are in full readiness for an all-out war to decisively settle the score with the enemy, while simultaneously enhancing combat spirit and equipment.
