TEHRAN – Former armed forces chief of staff Hassan Firouzabadi has said once Daesh attempted to approach the Iranian border it was shot down by Iranian forces.

Speaking to Tasnim in an interview published on Saturday, he said Iran did not shoot down just members of Daesh, but a unit.

“Much of what we have done has not been publicized. But they know well. They have realized if they do that again we will shoot them again.”
