MERIWAN, — The Iranian Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) crossed the borders of South-East Kurdistan allegedly for pursuing the kolbers who ferry goods on their backs across the borders.
The IRGC which has been amassing the borders with its military personnel for the last few days crossed the borders on the pretext of pursuing the defenceless kolbers.
The border infiltration occurred on 16 June at 16:00 with local time from Dizle village of Merwian city and extended to 1.5 kilometres deep inside South Kurdistanian’s soil.
According to Kurdistan Media outlet the infiltration was aimed at the crackdown of the Kurdish kolbers causing them damage of 25 million.
It should be noted that this cross border operation occurred after the IRGC had stationed large numbers of forces on the pseudo-borders of South-East Kurdistan.
The IRGC had embarked on a large scale military offensive on 16 July 2011 against the positions of the guerrillas of Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK).
Following heavy clashes the IRGC had indirectly requested PJAK to call for a ceasefire which was declared subsequently by PJAK. Both sides have adhered to the ceasefire since then expect in one occasion broke by Iran.
PJAK has warned that any military operation against its forces or the execution any political prisoner would herald the end of the ceasefire.
