Iran’s ground forces are prepared to take part in international peacekeeping missions, the commander of the Islamic Republic’s army said on Sunday.
“Peace is not just the absence of war,” said Kioumars Heydari, chief of Iran’s army ground force, according to state media.
“It means supporting oppressed nations and confronting terrorism.”
Heydari added that the army was ready to participate in international operations “within the framework of international rules.”
