TEHRAN –
Iran on Monday threatened to use action against armed extremists in Pakistan that the border is unsafe. ,,We can not accept that this continues”, said the head of the Iranian armed forces against the state news agency IRNA.
General Mohammad Baqeri came up with the warning after last month ten Iranian border guards from neighbouring Pakistan were killed. The military called the Pakistani government on the borders to better monitor, the ‘terrorists’ to catch and their shelters to roll. That does not happen, then Iran itself in action.
Iran threatened in 2014 already, with an intervention in Pakistan. That came after five Iranian border guards were kidnapped. Pakistan then suggested that such a procedure is a violation of international law. After mediation by a sunni spiritual decided Tehran eventually to refrain from sending troops.
