TABNAK, Feb 08: Brigadier General Kioumars Heidari made the remarks during an unveiling ceremony in the Iranian capital Tehran on Saturday, with other high-ranking officers from the Army and the General Staff of the Armed Forces in attendance.

“The deployment of the latest intelligence achievements and cutting-edge technology by the Ground Force of the Army aims to ensure the sustainable security of the country’s borders and to bring peace and reassurance,” Heidari said.

He went on to say that the newly deployed systems offer a range of capabilities, including surveillance, monitoring, reconnaissance, aerial intelligence gathering, and electronic warfare.

The high-ranking commander also noted that the new cutting-edge surveillance systems have been deployed by the Army to meet the operational needs of its ground forces.

Heidari further stressed that it is important for the Army Ground Forces to benefit from the latest intelligence achievements and cutting-edge technology so that information can be collected, reflected, and shared with operational units promptly.

He concluded by saying that the unveiled and integrated information equipment will be used in the process of blocking the eastern border of the country, emphasizing that the integration of these tools will bring better quality both in terms of monitoring and guarding the borders, and they should be used as an inseparable part of the process of completing the border wall.

A rise in drug trafficking terrorism in recent years has forced Iran to move towards sealing off its borders. The country has currently prioritized sealing its borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Sealing Iran's border with Pakistan is crucial for addressing security challenges in the Sistan and Baluchestan province, which has faced numerous attacks on civilians and security forces in the past years.

Iran’s security forces have protected the border and managed to repel almost all assaults by foreign-backed terrorists.
