DUBAI, April 2 (Reuters) - Iran's operational headquarters must monitor "enemy movements ‌with utmost pessimism and accuracy" ‌and be ready to counter any method ​of attack, the country's army commander-in-chief Amir Hatami was quoted as saying by state media on Thursday.

U.S. ‌President Donald ⁠Trump has said the Iran conflict is “nearing completion” and ⁠could end within weeks, but a parallel buildup of additional U.S. ​troops in ​the Gulf ​has raised concerns ‌that preparations may be underway for potential ground operations.

"No enemy troops should survive if adversaries attempt a ground operation," state media quoted Hatami ‌as saying.

State media ​shared a soundless ​footage showing ​Hatami in a room ‌with three other army ​commanders and ​on a video call with about a dozen others. Reuters ​could not ‌immediately verify when the footage ​was taken.
