Alwaght- Iranian security forces have crashed over 20 terrorist groups that had planned to carry out terrorist attacks across the country over the past year, Iran’s intelligence minister said.
Mahmoud Alavi made the remarks in speech before the Friday prayer sermons in the capital city of Tehran and added that a number of would-be bombers were killed or arrested during several successful operations by Iranian intelligence forces.
Iran's Intelligence Minister revealed that a large cache of weapons and ammunition was recovered from the terrorists. He said Iran’s intelligence forces also arrested several teams supporting terrorist groups and uncovered hideouts where terrorist operatives were manufacturing explosives. He added that Iranian forces killed the ringleader and most members of the so-called Ansar al-Forqan terrorist group in the southeastern parts of the country
Over the past few months Iranian security forces have defused several terror plots in different parts of the country.
The Commander of Iran’s Army Ground Force assured the nation of a close watch being kept on the Takfiri terrorists across the region, stressing that the threats will be combated far away from the country’s borders.
“There is no reason for concern, since there is full intelligence dominance over the Takfiri forces in the region,” Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan said in a recent speech.
He explained that Iran’s military strategy for dealing with the Takfiri terrorists is to destroy them outside the borders, before they even take the time to approach the frontier.
Iran has already announced that if the ISIS terrorists come close to any area about 40 kilometers from the country’s borders they will be annihilated.
