Iran warned on Tuesday that any US ground offensive against the country would be met with heavy resistance, arguing that invading forces would lose their technological edge once the fighting turned into direct, face-to-face combat.

Speaking to Radio Goftogoo, Iranian Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Akraminia said the military has developed detailed operational plans for every possible invasion route and has repeatedly rehearsed those scenarios during military exercises, The Caspian Post reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

"We have read the enemy's hand. We have pre-planned scenarios for every one of these areas, and we have practiced them many times in exercises," Akraminia said.

"Any aggressor entering these areas will immediately come under heavy fire aimed at destroying them," he added.

Akraminia said there is a fundamental difference between long-range warfare and ground combat.

According to him, long-range military operations depend primarily on advanced technology, while a ground invasion would become "face-to-face," reducing the effectiveness of technological superiority because invading forces would be unfamiliar with Iran's terrain and therefore more vulnerable.

He also said Iranian troops are driven by religious conviction and extensive military training, contrasting them with US soldiers, whom he claimed are motivated mainly by pay and employment benefits.

The spokesman further stated that the Iranian army has completed the organization of retired military personnel who volunteered to return to service following the latest conflict. He said approximately 2.5 million former conscripts and career military personnel make up the country's national reserve and serve as its second line of defense, although he noted there is currently no operational need to mobilize them.

The United States has intensified its attacks against Iran since last week, while Tehran has responded with strikes targeting facilities and bases that it says are used by the US military in several countries across the region.

The latest exchange of attacks between the US and Iran has taken place despite a memorandum of understanding brokered by Pakistan and signed by both countries in June, under which they agreed to end their war and work toward a lasting peace agreement.
