Iran will attack aggressive terrorist groups before reaching its borders

An Iranian Army Commander says the Armed Forces are ready to give a crushing response to ISIL if it ever attacks Iran.

Iranian Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan assured the nation that the country’s Armed Forces are ready to give a crushing response to the terrorist groups which dare to attack Iran.

“As a soldier, I assure the brave Iranian nation that the Armed Forces are at the service of the people with full preparedness and people shouldn’t be concerned,” Pourdastan told FNA in Rey city near Tehran on Friday.

Asked about Iran’s reaction to any possible aggression of the terrorist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), against the country, he said, “All moves of these groupings are monitored and we have very good capacities for confronting them and if they move to approach us, they should rest assured that we will target them on the soil of the same neighboring country (that is used as their platform) and will not allow them to approach our borders at all.”
