Spokesman Stresses Iran's Resolve to Clamp down on Terrorist Activities at Borders
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast called on the terrorist groups to heed the deadline offered by Iran for evacuating border regions, and warned that Iranian Armed Forces will give a crushing response to the terrorists if they insist on continuing their activities alongside the country's borders.
"If these groups continue to make the country's secure atmosphere and territories insecure and ignore the deadline and take no step to evacuate the border regions that they are currently using for creating insecurity and instability, (Iran's) military forces and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) will definitely show a crushing response based on their organizational task to protect the borders and establish security inside the country," Mehman-Parast told FNA on Wednesday.
Meantime, he dismissed the claims that Iran has entered Iraq's territory to confront terrorist groups that are active in Iraq, and noted, "No action has been conducted outside our border areas at all. All the moves for clearing and removing insecurity have been done inside Iran's territories."
The spokesman further called on the neighboring countries to take proper measures to restore security and prevent terrorist groups' activities alongside their borders.
In July, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) arrested several teams of the Iraq-based armed opposition group, PJAK (Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan), who have infiltrated Iran to stage terrorist attacks.
Consequently, about 5,000 Iranian military forces were deployed in the Northwestern parts of the country along its joint border with the Iraqi Kurdistan region. During the operations, the IRGC forces killed, injured and arrested tens of terrorists and destroyed their headquarters in the bordering areas of Alvatan near Sardasht city in Northwestern Iran.
PJAK, a militant Kurdish nationalist group with bases in the mountainous regions of Northern Iraq, has been carrying out numerous attacks in Western Iran, Southern Turkey and the Northeastern parts of Syria where the Kurdish populations live.
The separatist group has been fighting to establish an autonomous state, or possibly a new world country, in the area after separating Kurdish regions from Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria.
Iranian intelligence and security officials have repeatedly complained that Washington provides military support and logistical aids for such anti-Iran terrorist groups.
