The IRGC commander said that in case Pakistan does not fulfill its responsibilities in the fight against the terrorists that are based on its soil, Iran will follow its international rights and to inflict crushing punishment on the Takfiris, who are sponsored by the spy agencies of some regional and trans-regional countries.
“The heinous terrorist measure in Sistan and Baluchestan has increased the IRGC’s and other armed forces’ will and determination to continue the path of the martyrs to protect the integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” General Jafari added.
