Iranian Border Guards Killed in Clashes with Armed Group near Pakistan Border.

Iran has criticized the silence of European ambassadors and self-proclaimed human rights advocates on a terrorist attack that killed five border guards. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman paid tribute to the martyred guards and emphasized that Iran has been fighting terrorism and drug trafficking for years. The attack occurred in the Maze-Sar area of the border region of Saravan, located near Pakistan, and was carried out by a terrorist group that fled to the other side of the border after the confrontation. Iran urged Pakistan to honor bilateral counterterrorism agreements to enhance security on the border.
