TEHRAN – Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli has asked the Pakistani government to gather intelligence on the terrorists living in its territory in order to track and crush them, voicing Iranian armed forces’ readiness to cooperate with Pakistan to achieve that end.

Rahmani Fazli made the remarks during a phone conversation with his Pakistani counterpart Shehryar Khan Afridi on Saturday, IRNA reported.

It comes days after the Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group kidnapped more than 10 Iranian border guards in the Mirjavaveh border region with Pakistan. The border guards were from Basij forces, policemen and IRGC personnel.
