If terrorist groups in Pakistan border continue aggression, Iran will launch attack
Chief of Staff of the Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri warned that the country will launch attacks against terrorists’ hideouts in Pakistan if they continue aggression and killing of the Iranian border guards.
“Unfortunately, the regions adjacent to Iran’s Eastern borders have turned into a shelter and place for training, preparing and equipping the terrorists who are mercenaries of Saudi Arabia and are supported by the US,” General Baqeri said in Tehran on Monday.
Stressing that Iran cannot bear such situation anymore, he said that the Pakistani officials are expected to tighten control over their borders, arrest and extradite the terrorists to Iran and close their bases in Pakistan.
“If the aggressions continue, the terrorists’ shelters and hideouts will come under (our) crushing attack anywhere they are,” General Baqeri warned.
Late last month, nine Iranian border guards were killed and two others injured in clashes near the Iranian town of Mirjaveh near the border with Pakistan. The Jeish ul-Adl terrorist group in a statement claimed responsibility for the attack.
