Tehran, Sep 21 (IANS) Iranian border guards thwarted an infiltration attempt by a “terrorist group” in an operation at the border, killing two of its members, local media reported.

Iran’s Border Guards Commander Ahmad Ali Goudarzi added that Iranian border guards dealt a “heavy blow and defeat” to the “terrorists” after detecting the group’s movements near the border based on intelligence information.
