The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour announced that the IRGC has dismantled a team of terrorists.

“A terrorist team which sought to enter the country with the purpose of conducting acts of sabotage and terror was dismantled by the IRGC’s Ground Force in a border area in the Iranian province of West Azarbaijan,” General Pakpour said on Sunday.

He underlined that during the clashes the IRGC Ground Force managed to take timely action and killed two members of the terrorist team, and said, “Four terrorists were also injured and some ammunition and military equipment were also confiscated.

Iran has arrested dozens of terrorists since twin terrorist attacks in the Iranian capital, Tehran, which killed 17 people and injured over 50 others.

On June 7, gunmen mounted almost simultaneous assaults on Iran’s Parliament and the Mausoleum of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini. The ISIL terrorist group claimed responsibility for the assaults.
