TEHRAN, Aug 14 (NNN-TASNIM) – Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami, said yesterday that, all Iran’s border lines are secure, including the eastern borders with Afghanistan.
Salami said that, the IRGC forces, Iranian Army and the Police, have full control over the border areas and are controlling the situation.
The comments, by the Iranian senior commander came, after reports that Taliban took control of Herat, Afghanistan’s third-largest city and a strategic provincial capital, in the country’s west, near Iran’s borders.
Yesterday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, expressed concerns over the escalation of conflicts in Afghanistan, which have led to the displacement of large number of Afghan people.
He also urged full security of Iran’s diplomatic mission in Herat, after Taliban’s claim to gain control of the city.– NNN-TASNIM
