The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps launched an artillery attack on the positions of anti-revolution groups situated across Iran’s northwestern borders.

The public relations department of Hamzeh Sayyid al-Shohada Base of the IRGC Ground Force said in a statement that its forces staged the artillery strike on Saturday.

The attack has inflicted heavy losses on the anti-revolution groups outside the Iranian northwestern border, the statement added, according to Tasnim news agency.

It underlined that the Iranian armed forces, specifically the IRGC Ground Force, “consider national security and the comfort of the border residents as a red line and would punish terrorists for their criminal actions no matter where they are hidden.”

Earlier this month, the IRGC commander said the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia have been given warnings about the presence of terrorists near the Iranian border amid the escalation of fighting between the two neighbors over Nagorno-Karabakh.
