Commander Pakpour asks residents in Iraq’s north to stay away from terrorists

Tehran, IRNA- Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour has called on the local residents in northern areas of Iraq to stay away from the strongholds of the terrorists to be safe from any possible damage.

“We cannot tolerate the continuation of such conditions and will give the necessary response to the terrorists,” the Commander pointed out.

The terrorist and anti-Revolution groups affiliated with the global arrogance and the foreign espionage services have been using the lands in northern Iraq for years to upset security and calm in Iran’s border areas and harass the residents of those regions, he noted.

The officials of Iraq and Kurdistan Regional Government have been warned on the issue, he further noted.

Failure to address the issue is tantamount to ignoring good neighborliness and amicable relations between the two states, he underlined.
