Senior Komalah Commander Killed in Attempt to Cross Iran Border
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Rebwar Karimian, a ranking commander of the anti-Iranian Komalah terrorist group, was killed by the security forces during an attempt to make illegal entry to Iran.
Karimian, a member of the leadership committee of Komalah and a senior military commander of the terrorist group, has been killed at the border.
He had plans to cross the border illegally and enter Iran in a team of terrorists, but was killed in an ambush lay by the Iranian security and military forces.
Speaking to Tasnim on September 9, an informed source affirmed that the Iraqi-based terrorists have begun to retreat from the areas near the border with Iran.
The process has reportedly begun at the request of the Iranian government and in cooperation with the central government in Baghdad and the Iranian security and political organizations, including the Supreme National Security Council, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, the Intelligence Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The informed source noted that the anti-Iranian Kurdish groups have been evacuated from the bases along the common border and relocated to areas deep inside the Iraqi Kurdistan Region after being disarmed.
“The Komalah terrorist group has been deprived of its independence as they are planned to be inside the base under the full supervision of the Iraqi government,” the source added.
In March 2023, Tehran and Baghdad signed a security agreement in the Iraqi capital, which includes coordination in protecting the common border between the two countries.
Under the agreement, the Iraqi government pledged to disarm anti-Iran terrorist and separatist groups based in the country's northern Kurdistan region and relocate them from the border areas.
