Iran Army Ground Forces Order Maximum Combat Readiness

Brigadier General Jahanshahi, commander of Iran's Army Ground Forces, ordered military unit commanders to maintain the highest level of combat readiness on October 23, 2026. He warned that "in wartime conditions, any negligence or carelessness can carry heavy costs."

To ensure operational readiness, Jahanshahi mandated continuous training, accurate assessments of military capabilities, and improved coordination among units to rapidly identify and correct shortcomings. These orders require the Army Ground Forces of Iran to strengthen capabilities through rigorous planning and continuous supervision.

The military alert follows months of hostilities and ongoing disputes between Iran and the United States. These tensions center on regional security and maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil shipments.
