TEHRAN -- The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s Ground Force says Iran has identified some institutions in its neighboring countries that train terrorists.
Brigadier General Muhammad Pakpour said the enemy uses the capacity of Daesh and Salafi terrorist groups to destabilize the region.
“The enemy’s agencies are tasked with developing and designing terrorist actions, as well as equipping, directing and organizing terrorists,” he added.
“In some foreign countries, institutions are established for breeding terrorists and saboteurs… who are rented to commit acts of terror. Some of these institutions have been intercepted and identified in some neighboring states.”
Pakpour also referred to the important and effective role played by the IRGC’s Ground Force in protecting the security of people in the country.
Iranian forces have detected and neutralized many terrorist and anti-security conspiracies, he said, warning, however, that the enemy hatches new plots after every failure.
The IRGC commander further noted that 30 terrorists behind recent terrorist attacks in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan Province were foreigners who had received Daesh and Salafi teachings.
Back in April, the so-called Jaish ul-Adl terror outfit conducted deadly attacks against five locations, including public places and military and police bases, in Sistan and Baluchestan’s Rask and Chabahar Counties.
