The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force’s Quds Base announced that its forces have smashed a foreign-backed terror cell, killing four terrorists in the southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan on Friday.
Following an intelligence operation, the units of the IRGC Ground Force’s Quds Base identified a terrorist cell “affiliated to the global arrogance (the US)” that had intended to attack the Islamic Republic’s border posts from the territory of a neighboring country this morning, Tasnim news agency quoted the base as saying in a statement on Friday.
The members of the terrorist team were ambushed and smashed by the IRGC forces before they would be able to take any action near a border post in Saravan in Sistan and Balouchestan Province, the statement read.
A heavy clash took place, killing four terrorists and injuring two others, the Quds Base said, adding that a number of other terrorists escaped to the neighboring country.
