Security Prevails Despite Hostilities

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Ground Force Lieutenant General Mohammad Pakpour praised the security situation across Iran and said despite plots and attempts by enemies, the Islamic Republic is “an island of security” in the region.

Addressing a ceremony in commemoration of the martyrs of the Saberin Special Forces Brigade in Tehran on Saturday, Pakpour said Iran is in a turbulent sea of insecurity, Tasnim News Agency reported.

“Our country is considered an island of security in this sea,” he said.

“This is while all the Islamic Republic’s enemies, including the US, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are backing anti-revolutionary terror groups to create insecurity in the country.”

Pakpour pointed to a recent terrorist attack on Iranian border guards in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, saying the terrorists had targeted them from inside Pakistan and were incapable of launching the attack on Iranian soil.
