TEHRAN – Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Ground Forces, has condemned the Zionist regime’s backing of sabotage groups operating along Iran's borders.

Speaking during a local ceremony in Rasht, Gilan province, General Pakpour asserted that recent investigations have uncovered evidence of the Zionist regime’s involvement in supporting these groups and facilitating terrorist activities targeting Iran's security checkpoints.

The commander highlighted a noticeable shift in the tactics and strategies of warfare, pointing out the evolving nature of conflicts in the region. "We are witnessing significant changes in the nature of modern warfare, which demands that our military units stay updated and prepared to confront these new realities," General Pakpour remarked. 

He explained that today’s warfare tactics, particularly those employed by terrorists and counter-revolutionary elements, are far more advanced than those seen in previous conflicts. The types of equipment and techniques used by these groups have evolved, making it imperative for Iran’s military forces to adjust their strategies accordingly.

General Pakpour went on to mention recent terrorist attacks on police stations and security checkpoints in the southern regions of the country, which he attributed to well-supported and sophisticated terrorist networks. He alleged that powerful foreign entities, including intelligence services, were backing these terrorist organizations in their efforts to destabilize the country.

The IRGC Ground Force, according to Pakpour, remains fully equipped and ready to neutralize any attempt that threatens Iran’s security. “We are prepared to crush any movement that endangers the nation’s safety before it has a chance to grow,” he warned, underscoring the readiness of Iran’s military forces to protect the nation against both internal and external threats.
