TEHRAN – Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi has highlighted the imperative for the Pakistani government to take immediate measures in safeguarding its borders and preventing the establishment of terrorist havens within the country.

During his visit to the Rask police headquarters on Sunday, Vahidi revealed that investigations unveiled the infiltration of the terrorist group into the Islamic Republic of Iran from the border of the neighboring country Pakistan. He stated, “Taking advantage of the cover of night and regional geography, they reached the targeted police headquarters, executing their sinister objectives.”

The Minister of Interior condemned the terrorist act, emphasizing the tragic loss of lives among defenders of order and security. 

Vahidi underscored that the military, police, and security forces are actively engaged in efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. He assured that those responsible for the incident will undoubtedly face the consequences of their actions, with a severe retaliation awaiting them.

According to official reports, at least 11 Iranian police officers lost their lives in a terrorist-affiliated assault that occurred overnight on Friday at a police station in Rask County, located in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.

The so-called Jaish-ul-Adl terror group claimed responsibility for the attack.
