Iran has only given advisory help to regional states including Iraq, Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said on Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters in a local ceremony, he said that Iran has not given weapons or missile system to regional nations including Iraq.
Pourdastan noted that Iran plans to hold some military exercises in western, southwestern and eastern regions of Iran.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has always hailed Iran's support for Iraqi forces in their fight against ISIL Takfiri terrorists but insisted that there are no Iranian boots on the ground in his country.
The ISIL Takfiri terrorists have taken control of swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria since last year.
The Iraqi army, backed by pro-government tribes, Shia volunteers, and Kurdish Peshmerga forces, has so far managed to make significant gains in the fight against the terrorists.
Iran has repeatedly stressed that it will not interfere militarily in Iraq and Syria, but the Islamic Republic continues to provide support to both countries against ISIL in the form of defense consultancy and humanitarian aid.
