The authorities of Iran reported that 18 citizens of Tajikistan and Afghanistan were killed by the security forces of the country.
The commander of the Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran, Mohammad Pakpour, stated that during the conducted operations, 18 citizens of Tajikistan and Afghanistan, who intended to carry out a terrorist attack, were eliminated.
The commander of the Ground Forces of the Revolutionary Guard noted that during the operations “Rasak,” “Chabahar,” and “Parud” in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan, 18 suicide terrorists were killed. According to him, they crossed the Iran-Afghanistan border under the guise of fuel smugglers.
So far, no relatives of the deceased have reported anything. Neither the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan nor representatives of the Taliban in Afghanistan have commented on the report of the destruction of their citizens in Iran.
The IRGC commander Mohammad Pakpour did not provide the names of the killed citizens of Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
“We have accurate information that enemy intelligence services held a series of meetings in some countries of the region and instructed terrorist groups to carry out certain acts aimed at destabilizing the region,” emphasized Pakpour.
On the other hand, the Iranian opposition in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan accuses Iranian forces and law enforcement agencies of killing or injuring dozens of residents of this province each month on charges of drug or fuel smuggling.
The province of Sistan and Baluchestan, where the majority of residents are Sunnis, is the poorest province in Iran. Due to total poverty and lack of opportunities to earn a living, hundreds of residents risk their lives to transport fuel to Afghanistan.
