The Iranian commander underscored that Iranian armed forces are watching the country's borders so carefully that there has not remain any chance for the Takfiri terrorist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), to pose any threat for Iran.

'The ISIL not only is not a threat to our country, but also Iraqi nation will eradicate the group by themselves,' he stressed, adding members of the ISIL group are 'employed mercenaries' who are present in Iraq and Syria to destabilize peace and tranquility in the region.

The ISIL is operating in Northern and Northwestern Iraq near the country's borders with Turkey and Syria. A few hundred kilometers to their East is the border with Iran's Western and Northwestern provinces.
