Iranian forces drill for 'confronting the enemy on any land'

Iran's Mohammad Rasulollah Corps has carried out military exercises focused on pre-planned scenarios and collective and individual techniques to confront the enemy on any terrain, according to its commander, Hassan Zadeh. The drills, named "Martyr Commander," involved rapid reaction units, special forces, commandos from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Basij (mobilization) forces.

Speaking to Iranian media, Zadeh stated that the Basij-specific exercise spanned five days and nights, achieving all its objectives. He added that the maneuvers included training on all previously rehearsed scenarios, tactics, and both group and individual methods for engaging an enemy on any ground, which were then evaluated.

The commander disclosed that one of the exercise's goals was to "enhance combat capability to confront any enemy move and operation, especially the American-Zionist enemy." He asserted, "We are ready to carry out any operation anywhere, at any time, and in the shortest possible time."
