TEHRAN, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) will target terrorists and armed rebels within the country's borders and beyond, Commander of IRGC's Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said on Sunday.
Pakpour made the remarks in a reference to the recent clashes between the IRGC's forces and the Kurdish rebel groups in northwestern Iran.

Iran will target the bases of the terrorist groups anywhere, he stressed.
