Iran on Monday hit out at the silence of the self-proclaimed advocates of human rights and European ambassadors on a terrorist attack in southeast Iran that martyred five border guards.
“Why is there no sign of the self-proclaimed advocates of human rights and fight against terrorism,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani tweeted.
He also slammed European ambassadors in Tehran for refraining from sending a “united message” regarding the martyrdom of the Iranian border guards by terrorists.
The Iranian spokesperson emphasized that the Islamic Republic has been fighting terrorism and drug trafficking for years thanks to the sacrifice of its generals and soldiers.
Kanaani paid tribute to the five border guards who lost their lives in the terrorist attack in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan on Saturday.
On Monday, a funeral was held in Zahedan to pay tribute to the martyrs.
The attack occurred in the Maze-Sar area of the border region of Saravan, located near Pakistan, as the Iranian border security forces engaged in a fierce confrontation with the terrorists.
The attack was carried out by “a terrorist group which intended to infiltrate the country’s border” but “fled to the other side of the border after the confrontation.”
Iran’s deputy police chief on Sunday expressed the force’s determination to avenge the martyrdom of the border guards.
Speaking at the border guards’ funeral ceremony in Zahedan, Brigadier General Qasem Rezaei warned the deceived people who are following in the enemies’ footsteps that they “will definitely get a decisive and firm response wherever it is necessary.”
“Today, police forces are more resolved and you will hear the news of the revenge in the near future,” Rezaei added.
The deputy police chief said such incidents will not create divisions between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan as the trio enjoy long-standing relations.
“Pakistan has given a message, saying that it will deal decisively with the perpetrators of the terrorist attack, and that it is the last message,” he said.
Also the Iranian border police commander warned neighboring countries to observe the principle of good neighborliness and not allow destabilizing activities on their soil.
“Our patience has limits,” Brigadier General Ahmad-Ali Goudarzi said.
Spokesman of Baluchistan Government in Pakistan, Farah Azeem Shah, condemned the terrorist attack in Saravan.
“The time has come for the governments and nations of Iran and Pakistan to send a strong message to these elements,” she said, stressing that the purpose of such acts of terror was to harm the brotherly relations between Pakistan and Iran.
