Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, IRGC Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said the “Muslim Kurdish Martyrs” mission in north west of Iran near the Iraqi border has come to an end after accomplishing all objectives.

Many areas have been cleansed of terrorists in the military exercise, the commander said.

“Decisive action against the terrorist elements and groups are always on the agenda of the IRGC Ground Force, and we will vigorously confront terrorists wherever they may be,” he noted.

“The IRGC Ground Force would by no means allow terrorist groups and elements upsetting regional security to make any moves,” Brigadier General Pakpour stressed.

He further warned terrorists and their allies that any sinister move at the border areas, particularly along Iran’s northwestern and southeastern border, will receive the IRGC Ground Force’ “iron fist and harsh reaction.”

According to the commander, several IRGC units, including drone units, armored units, Ground Force’s airborne division, mechanized units, Saberin Special Forces brigade, and local provincial troops took part in the war game.

The IRGC Ground Force had already warned the Kurdistan Regional Government to prevent the terrorist groups from using the areas near the common border with Iran and to stop them from setting up camps for training, organizing, and deploying terrorist teams into Iran.

The public relations department of Hamzeh Sayyid al-Shohada Base of the IRGC Ground Force said in a statement that the armed clash happened at 2:40 PM local time on Tuesday near the city of Marivan.

In the operation, launched in cooperation with the intelligence forces of Kurdistan Province, the IRGC troops clashed with an 8-strong team of anti-Revolution terrorists and killed two of them, it said.

Four other terrorists were injured in the operation, and the rest of them fled the scene, the statement said, adding that a manhunt is in progress.

The IRGC is tasked with protecting the country’s northwestern and southeastern borders.

In July 2018, anti-revolutionary terrorists attacked a border post of the Hamzeh Seyed al-Shohada Base in the western province of Kurdistan, killing 11 forces of the base.
