Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it has dismantled a terrorist team operating in the country's southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, according to a report from the state news agency IRNA.
The province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has periodically been the site of security operations by Iranian forces against armed groups, given its position along a volatile border region that has seen recurring unrest in past years.
Limited details released
IRNA's report did not provide extensive detail on the size of the group dismantled, the specific operation that led to its breakup, or any casualties or arrests associated with the action. The IRGC has periodically announced similar operations in the province as part of its stated efforts to maintain security along Iran's eastern borders.
Sistan and Baluchestan has long been identified by Iranian authorities as a security priority due to its remote terrain and proximity to international borders, factors that have at times been linked to cross-border militant activity and smuggling.
Further details on the operation, including any follow-up security measures in the region, were not immediately available beyond the initial IRGC announcement reported by IRNA.
