Iran to strike terrorists beyond borders if neighbors fail to act: official

AVA- Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Hossein Zolfaqari criticized some neighboring countries for not preventing recent insecurity along common borders.
Zolfaqari pointed to recent terrorist attacks against Iranian security forces in western and southeastern border areas and said the terror groups are based in some neighboring countries.
"We have let those countries' officials know that they should deal with the terrorists and if they fail to do so, we will have to target the terrorists' strongholds along the borders to ensure our security," he was quoted as saying.
In the clashes in the west of Iran between Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the militant groups on Saturday, 11 IRGC members were killed.
Kurdish PJAK, an anti-Iranian Kurdish rebel group based in the Iraqi Kurdistan autonomous region, claimed responsibility for the attack.
