IRGC Commander Vows Revenge for Blood of Martyrs
Speaking at the funeral of the martyrs of the attack, the senior commander said the terrorist attack has strengthened the resolve of the Iranian nation, IRGC and other armed forces to protect the borders and vowed that the forces will take revenge for the blood of the martyrs.
He also stressed that Pakistan should be held accountable for the crime because Islamabad is aware of the whereabouts of the terrorists who carried out the attack.
Majaor General Jafari warned that if Pakistan fails to fulfil its responsibilities regarding the terrorist elements, Iran reserves the right to take action against threats in accordance to international law.
In a suicide attack on Wednesday night claimed by the so-called Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group, 27 IRGC members were killed and 13 others were injured.
A number of IRGC forces were traveling between the cities of Zahedan and Khash, in Sistan and Balouchestan when their bus was hit by the suicide car bomb attack.
The IRGC’s Quds Base said in a statement that an explosives-laden car rammed into the bus, which was taking the personnel back to their homes.
