The IRGC’s ground troops smashed the group of armed bandits and terrorists in the border area of West Azarbaijan province, said commander of the IRGC Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour.
The anti-revolutionary terrorists were going to conduct acts of terror and sabotage in Iran, added the top commander.
The IRGC forces killed two of the armed terrorists in the shootout, he went on to say, according to a Farsi report by the IRIB News Agency.
“In this operation, four of the armed terrorists were wounded, and some ammunition as well as military equipment and hardware was also seized,” said General Pakpour.
