Tehran, Irena -. The ground force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) disbanded a team of the separatist terrorist group PJAK that was trying to infiltrate Northwestern Iran in order to carry out acts of sabotage and terrorism.
In a statement on Thursday, the Hamza Syed al-Shuhada base announced that its forces had successfully dismantled a two-member team of the PJAK terrorist group.
