The deputy commander of Iran's Air Defense Force has assured the Iranian people that the country�s eastern borders with Afghanistan are safe and secure amid Taliban�s rapid takeover of the war-ravaged country.
Brigadier General Alireza Elhami made the remarks on Monday while explaining about the latest situation of security along Iran�s eastern borders, saying, �If [Iranian] people have concerns about possible insecurity along eastern borders ... [I assure them that] due to preparedness of [the Iranian] Armed Forces, there is no problem and no ground for any concerns� in this regard.

�I tell my compatriots that there is no ground for concerns about security of the country�s borders, because the powerful Armed Forces of the Islamic Iran, especially the Air Defense Force ... are monitoring areas many kilometers beyond our territorial borders.�
