Iran border chief: Ground invasion talk “delusional”

Iran's border police commander Aliakbar Javidan said that talk of a possible ground attack on the country was "delusional," adding that Iran's borders were secure and its armed forces remained intact, Iran International reports.

“Claims about a possible ground attack on Iran are delusional, and enemy movements can never undermine the country’s authority and security,” Javidan said.

He said the deaths of senior commanders had not disrupted military operations because replacements were in place.

Javidan added that border guards and residents in Kordestan, Sistan-Baluchestan and Khuzestan were helping secure the country’s frontiers.
