IRGC Kills Terrorist Ringleader in Clashes in SE Iran

Sistan-and-Baluchestan Province’s deputy governor for security affairs, Ali Asghar Mir-Shekari, said on Monday that Molavi Jalil Ghanbar Zehi, the ringleader of the so-called Ansar al-Furqan group, had been killed during the recent clashes with the IRGC’s Qods Headquarters in Qasr-e Qand Heights.

He added that the body of this “international terrorist” along with four of his deputies and elements is now in the hands of the IRGC Ground Forces.

The official noted that Iranian security officials had been conducting measures over the past 25 years to arrest this terrorist due to his numerous crimes committed in the southeastern Iranian border areas.

Commander of IRGC’s Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour told Fars news agency on Sunday that IRGC forces had managed to kill all members of the Takfiri terrorist outfit and completely dismantle it after the start of the operation in the town of Qasr-e Qand on Thursday.

He added that the identity of the terrorists had not been determined yet, adding, “The terrorists were members of the Ansar al-Furqan group and their identities are under investigation.”

The IRGC said in a Thursday statement that its Qods Headquarters had dispatched its units to Qasr-e Qand after obtaining information about the presence of a Takfiri terrorist group in the area and engaged the group in mountainous areas.

“During the anti-terror operation, the IRGC’s Qods Headquarters fighters destroyed a vehicle laden with 600 kilograms of explosives, and seized five bombs ready to be used in suicide attacks, 700 kilograms of explosives, tens of thousands of bullets and a number of weapons and ammunition,” the statement read.

Iran Summons Swiss Envoy to Protest Tillerson’s Claims

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said that following the “meddlesome and injudicious” statements by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson about regime change in Iran, Tehran has summoned Switzerland’s charge d’affaires and gave him an official letter of protest.

Qassemi said that the letter has been handed over to the Swiss envoy by foreign ministry’s director general for the Americas, Mohammad Keshavarz-Zadeh.

“Our director general for the Americas has strongly condemned the remarks made by Tillerson in the US House of Representatives, calling them a clear interference in domestic affairs of the Islamic Republic,” Qassemi added.

“Tillerson’s statements are against the principles of international law and the international commitments of the US government, including the United Nations Charter, and agreements between Tehran and Washington. The US administration should be held accountable for these remarks,” Qassemi quoted Keshavarz-Zadeh as saying.

In this meeting, the Swiss representative said he will convey Tehran’s message to the US administration and inform Iran’s government of the results as soon as possible.

In an address to the US House Foreign Affairs Committee last Wednesday, Tillerson claimed that Iran continues activities and interventions that destabilise the Middle East.

He also accused Iran of providing support for the Assad government, funding militias and foreign fighters in Iraq and Yemen, and arming “terrorist” organizations like Hezbollah, which threaten Washington’s ally Israel.

Tillerson suggested that the policy of regime change is back on the US agenda, and Washington would help elements inside Iran bring about a ‘peaceful transition’ of the Iranian Establishment.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)’s retaliatory missile attacks on terrorists’ positions in Syria was a firm and prompt response to the recent terrorist attacks in Tehran.

“The IRGC’s missile attack was conducted with the prior knowledge of the Syrian government,” he said.

He warned Takfiri terrorist groups and their supporters against any move targeting Iran.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not turn a blind eye to any destabilising move that would imperil its national security and its citizens’ security,” he said, adding, “Tehran will give a firm, prompt and prudent response to such moves.”

“Last night’s missile attack on terrorist elements and their bases came to ensure the security of Iranian citizens” with reliance on domestic defence capabilities, said the spokesman.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always warned against the spread of terrorism and threats caused by the scourge of terrorism in the region and across the world,” said Qassemi.

He said Iran’s policy is to cooperate with regional countries as well as the international community to uproot terrorism and extremism in the region and across the globe.

“Within this framework, we will draw on our military capabilities to give a crushing response to any aggression or threat against the country,” the spokesman underscored.

In an interview with Iran’s state TV, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi has said Saudi Arabia as well as other sponsors of terrorism should know that Iran “is not joking with anybody”.

Speaking after the IRGC’s missile attacks against ISIS positions in Syria, he stressed that Iran has entered a new phase in its fight against the terrorists in the region.

“[The next time] our response will be more decisive. They [the terrorists and their sponsors] cannot play with fire. They have to bear the consequences of any of their unwise moves,” he noted, referring to the recent terrorist attacks on Tehran which were avenged by the IRGC’s missile attacks on terrorists in Syria.

Stressing that the US is at the head of all the terrorist mischiefs made in the region, Boroujerdi said the recent missile operation by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps was a message for the US.

He noted that Iran’s move was a response to the US Senate and government, which recently imposed new sanctions on Tehran, to show them that it [Iran] has managed to make all these achievements at the time of tough sanctions.

“Iran in Constant Race with Super Powers in Missile Domain”

By

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says hegemonic powers are currently not powerful enough to get engaged in a conflict with Iran.

“Of course, we have no intention of engaging them, either; but we are involved in a constant competition with them in different areas, including the missile field,” said the top general.

Addressing a Monday gathering of science and technology experts, he touched upon hegemonic powers’ weak points when it comes to engaging in a war with Iran.

He said Iran is among the world’s top missile powers thanks to efforts by local scientists.

“We are racing the hegemonic system in numerous areas, including underground, marine, air and space technologies,” the general noted.

“This comes as their military budget is multiple times larger than our defence funding.”

The general also touched upon the US massive military presence in the Middle East region and the military actions carried out by “hegemonic powers.”

“The hegemonic system created the ISIS Takfiri-terrorist group, which is the result of its research on extremist Islamist groups in the region,” the general said.

General Baqeri’s comments came after Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) fired six medium-range surface-to-surface missiles at ISIS fortifications in Syria from two western Iranian provinces on Sunday night.

According to the IRGC, a large number of ISIS terrorists were killed in the attack. Heavy casualties were also inflicted on the terrorists.

The missile operation was in retaliation for the recent ISIS-claimed terror attacks in Tehran, which killed 17 people.
