According to Saednews, Iran has prepared detailed defense strategies and operational plans to respond to any attempted military incursion into its territory, according to Army spokesperson Brigadier General Akraminia.

Speaking in an interview with national radio on Tuesday, Akraminia said Iran's armed forces have developed comprehensive contingency plans and conducted extensive military exercises to counter potential threats. He emphasized that the country would not allow foreign troops to establish a presence on Iranian soil.
