Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have deployed troops along the border with Azerbaijan and Armenia, following stray fire from the fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh.
“Units of ground forces have been dispatched to and stationed in the region,” their commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour says, quoted by state news agency IRNA.
Their mission is “to protect national interests and maintain peace and security.”
Pakpour says Iran respects its neighbors’ territorial integrity but that “any shift in border geopolitics is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s red line.”
