Iranian authorities have vowed revenge after a suicide attack killed 27 border guards belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on its southeastern border.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement saying, “A group who devoted themselves to protecting our borders and guard our security were martyred in an attack by terrorists.” The statement continued, “The connection between the agents of this crime with the spy agencies of some countries in the region and outside of the region is certain. The responsible agencies of [our] country must focus on that and pursue it seriously.”
