The Iranian intelligence minister says the country will firmly deal with any potential security threat to its borders, emphasizing that Iran’s border regions are fully secure.

Mahmoud Alavi said on Saturday that all the country's borders are perfectly safe thanks to the vigilance of security forces, and that firm and appropriate action would be taken against any security threats.

The Iranian intelligence minister added that Iran’s forces will immediately respond to any activity endangering the border region.

Alavi said Iran has been monitoring even the slightest moves made by the Takfiri ISIL terrorists, stripping them of the remotest opportunity to realize their dream of fomenting insecurity in Iran.

ISIL has been involved in crimes against humanity in Iraq, Iran's western neighbor, since the Takfiri terrorists seized some parts of the Arab country in June 2014.

The Iraqi army and volunteer fighters have been cooperating ever since to liberate areas under the control of the terrorists.

Iran has been providing advisory support to the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIL.

On June 9, the commander of the ground forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said the Islamic Republic does not see ISIL as a threat to Iran.
