00:19Iran has announced the deployment of rapid reaction units, special forces, and assault
00:25brigades to its western borders with Iraq and the Kurdistan region following a recent
00:31series of attacks on Iranian security forces and civilians.
00:36According to Iranian Army Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi, the move
00:44is part of a coordinated security operation involving the Iranian Army, the Islamic Revolutionary
00:51Guard Corps, and law enforcement agencies.
00:54Iranian officials say the deployments are aimed at strengthening border security, deterring
01:01infiltration, and preventing further attacks from armed groups operating near the frontier.
01:07State media reports claim that the decision comes after multiple deadly incidents across
01:13different regions in recent days.
01:16In one incident cited, a police officer was killed in Sistan and Balochistan province after
01:23being shot by unidentified gunmen.
01:26In another attack along the Bana-Sakhez road in Kurdistan province, two security personnel
01:33were killed and several others, including civilians, were injured.
01:38A further incident in Kermanshah province saw two IRGC members killed and two others wounded
01:46in a targeted shooting, which Iranian sources attribute to Kurdish armed groups.
01:52Iranian media also reports additional operations in border regions, where security forces say they
01:59dismantled armed cells and seized weapons linked to separatist networks.
02:04Tehran has repeatedly accused foreign-backed groups, including Kurdish and Baloch militants, of carrying out cross-border
02:13attacks from neighboring territories.
02:16Officials often link these groups to broader regional adversaries, including the United States and Israel, though
02:24independent verification of these claims remains limited.
02:28The western border region, particularly areas near Iraq's Kurdistan, has long been a flashpoint for clashes between
02:37Iranian forces and Kurdish opposition groups, such as PJAK, which operate across the border.
02:45Meanwhile, in southeastern Iran, Baloch armed groups have also been active, carrying out periodic attacks on security forces in Sistan
02:55and Balochistan province.
02:57Iran says these latest deployments are intended to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation of violence
03:06in both western and southeastern border regions.
03:10The announcement comes amid already heightened regional tensions following recent conflicts in the broader Middle East,
03:18further intensifying Iran's security posture along its frontiers.
03:24For now, Iranian forces continue heightened patrols and operations, as officials warn that any further attacks will be met with
03:34a stronger response.
