| Kermanshah Prov, IRNA: A top military commander said here on Wednesday night that the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army resolutely defends the borders of Iran. Talking to reporters, the Commander of Western Regions Operational Headquarters Brigadier General Fereydoun Nouri who is the commander of forces in Kermanshah and Ilam border provinces and was speaking at the zero point of the Iran-Iraq border, added, "the Western borders of Iran are quite safe and secure currently and all military operations conducted inside Iraqi territory adjacent to Iran's soil are carefully pursued by the IRI armed forces. He said, "the Iranian army will strongly defend the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran and will respond firmly to any violation of the international borders of Iran by the foreign forces." The brigadier general reiterated, "since the beginning of the US-British forces' military attack against Iraq, no bullet has been shot into the sacred territory of Iran in the West Region." That is no doubt because of the Heroic Forces of Islamic Revolution™, which stand guard so vigilantly, rather than because the Americans and Brits weren't interested in them and the Iraqis were trying to save their collective nether regions. |
