TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Interior Ministry spokesman gave an assurance on Saturday that full security prevails along the country’s borders, describing the harsh clampdown on terrorist teams at some border areas in recent days as a testimony to the armed forces’ vigilance.





Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency on Saturday, Hossein-Ali Amiri said all of the country’s borders are fully safe, including the northwestern border areas that witnessed armed clashes with terrorist groups recently.

“Anti-security moves are being monitored by the security forces all over the country,” he underlined.
