PressTV-Iran marks 40 km red zone into Iraq

The commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces says Iran has marked a 40-km red zone into the Iraqi border to warn terrorists of any infiltration attempt into Iranian territories.

Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said Tuesday that the Iranian army warned the ISIL about any potential movement toward the Iranian border since the very beginning of the terrorist group’s incursion into Iraq.

“When ISIL Takfiri terrorists penetrated western Iraq and were close to the Iranian borders, the Ground Forces were fully ready to annihilate them,” the commander told IRNA.

“We marked a red line 40 kilometers into the Iraqi soil and warned (them) they will face Iran’s harsh response if they cross the line.

“The group received our message and fled the zone quickly,” he said.

Pourdastan said that the Iranian army is fully familiar with tactics used by terrorists and closely monitors their movement inside Iraq.

The ISIL terrorist group took control of Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul in June 2014, before sweeping through parts of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.

The Takfiri group, with members from several Western countries, has been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians.

So nobody even the Iraqis themselves can get near the border outside 40km of Iran. Interesting...

 

[Hyperion]

You guys decimated the Iraqi Army and empowered ISIS, what did you expect?

Not sure how laying claim to 40km of Iraqi soil by Iran would be an excuse for the decimating of the Iraqi Army and empowering the ISIS. Thought Iran and Iraq are good neighbors now.

They are not laying claim to 40 km Iraqi territory. It's sort of a buffer zone. They are right to create it, just in case.

Does Iran have a 40km buffer zone in Pakistan?

Dude, don't be a smart ***. Iraq doesn't have a working army, even a fourteen year old can snatch and beat the shit out of Iraqi recruits, hence the need for 40 km buffer zone.

P.S. For an old-man, you're either really really dumb or just plain Yankee.

Funny, I made you mad because I raise a good question. After all I've seen many threads about Iranian border guards being killed through Iran-Pakistan border and the Pakistani Army has yet to do anything about it. You talk about Iran has the right, well Iran may have the right on Pakistan as well.

You raised a silly question, hence my response. Iranians will be dealt in good time. We have patience, or didn't you still learn anything from your Afghanistan picnic?

In your opinion. Don't know what you mean by dealt with Iranians, unless you got some awesome plan once and for all. Funny you mentioned about Afghan picnic when you got your own picnic to deal with in your country. How many have died now eh? Perhaps why Iran may need to impose a 100km buffer zone on Pakistani soil. Just to be on the safe side.

Where does it say buffer zone, it says red zone. They mean if ISIS comes within 40KM they will attack ISIS, big deal as if that's going to help a lot, ISIS has already been defeated on the Iranian border ( Diyala province ).

 

[Hyperion]

Hot buffer zone is same as red-zone. Anyone in that particular area will be fried. Who cares about semantics?

Read the title.

MARKED

Once we see borders being crossed you can call it buffer zone, but that won't happen, and it isn't needed either considering ISIS positions are in West and Northwestern Iraq. Not long ago militia's & IA defeated ISIS in Jalawa & Saadiya ending their presence in the province, they're not on the Iranian border.

 

[haman10]

its clear that Buffer zone =/= red zone .

the term "buffer zone" is used when the forces have taken control of the area #1 close to the area #2 in which they try to protect .

iranian forces never crossed the border and will never do .

Does Iran have a 40km buffer zone in Pakistan?

Does U.S have a 40 km buffer zone in Mexico ??
