Press TV - Iran�s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has dismissed reports about plans for a joint operation with Turkey against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants outside the Iranian borders.

�We have not devised any operation�plan outside the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran,� the IRGC Ground Force's Hamzeh Seyed al-Shohada base said in a statement on Tuesday.
�But like in the past, we will strongly�counter any group, team or individual seeking to infiltrate into the Iranian territory to carry out terrorist or anti-security measures,� it added.
It said some terrorist groups based in camps in northern Iraq have been seeking to cause insecurity in Iran in recent years with�the logistical support of the enemies of the Islamic Republic; however, they have repeatedly failed to conduct any move and sustained heavy damage.
The IRGC base vowed a �crushing and harsh� response to these groups intending to carry out the slightest move to create insecurity in Iran�s border areas.
Turkey�s President Erdogan said on Monday that a joint Turkish-Iranian operation against Kurdish militants was "always on the agenda."

�It is always on the agenda to carry out a joint operation with Iran against those terror organizations which pose a threat," Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul before a visit to Jordan.

Turkey has been fighting against the outlawed PKK militants for decades.

Iran is also fighting PJAK, a PKK offshoot, in its northwestern border region with Turkey. Iranian forces killed five PJAK terrorists in an ambush there last June.

PJAK randomly carries out hit-and-run attacks on Iranian targets, after which they retreat to their lairs in Iraq and Turkey.
