Karabakh Warring Sides Warned of Presence of Terrorists Near Iran: IRGC Chief - Tasnim News Agency

The Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia have been given warnings about the presence of terrorists near the Iranian border amid the escalation of fighting between the two neighbors over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Major General Hossein Salami on Thursday visited Iran’s northwestern border areas in the province of Ardabil, close to the regions where Azerbaijan and Armenia have been exchanging fire in recent weeks.

The commander said he has visited the border zone in order to make sure that the Iranian border residents are in full security.

After meeting a group of border guards in the area, the general said the Iranian military forces are fully prepared to protect the country in all circumstances and would give a “decisive response” to any act of aggression.
