Iranian MP Urges Iraq to Exercise Stronger Control over Shared Borders
TEHRAN (FNA)- A member of the Iranian parliament on Monday asked Iraq's authorities to step up measures along the two countries' borderline to control crossings and prevent terrorist group's infiltration into Iran.
"We have this complaint to Iraq's leaders that they have paved the ground for the presence of the groups that are hostile to the Islamic Republic of Iran's ruling system in a way that our enemies have deployed troops on Iraq's soil and threaten our country," Mohammad Ali Partovi told FNA.
Yet, he reminded that Iran and Iraq have no problem in their relations except for the activities carried out by a terrorist group along the two countries' joint borders.
"They (Iraqi leaders) should not give a chance to our enemies to build up bunkers in the border regions and use them against us," Partovi noted.
The remarks by the Iranian legislator came a day after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that the IRGC has resumed military operations against the Iraq-based PJAK terrorist group after its one-month deadline to the terrorist group ended on Wednesday.
"The IRGC has started a new round of operations to completely uproot the PJAK grouplet," said Hamid Ahmadi, a senior IRGC Ground Force Commander for Operations.
Senior Iranian political and military officials have always underlined that the IRGC will continue operations against the terrorist group, adding that the military operations against the PJAK terrorists are aimed at defending Iran's territorial integrity.
In July, the IRGC arrested several teams of PJAK, who intended to infiltrate Iran to stage terrorist operations in the country.
Iran also deployed about 5,000 military forces 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.
