Forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have destroyed a terrorist team that had martyred two members of Basij in the southwestern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

In a statement on Friday, the IRGC Ground Force’s Quds Base announced that two members of the terrorist cell were killed and some weapons and ammunition were seized during a clash.

A member of the Quds Base was also injured in the clash.

“This coordinated operation was carried out following precise monitoring by the units of the IRGC Ground Force’s Quds Base,” the statement added.
