Intelligence Minister: Iran resolute to retaliate terrorist attack on IRGC bus

Intelligence Minister Seyyed Mahmoud Alavi said that Iran is planning for a crushing response to the Wednesday terrorist attack on the personnel of the Islamic Revolution Guardians Corps (IRGC), highlighting that Tehran will never leave a terrorist attack unanswered.

“Assuredly, we will never leave such terrorist attacks unanswered,” Alavi said today, on the sidelines of a ceremony to commemorate the 27 martyrs of the attack.

The senior security official reassured that planning is underway for a crushing response, adding that retaliation is a national demand.

“There is good convergence and synergy between relevant security bodies of the country for this purpose,” Alavi highlighted, adding that discussions are underway in the Supreme National Security Council.

Dozens of IRGC members were martyred or wounded after their bus came under a terrorist attack in Iran's Southeastern Sistan-e Balouchestan Province last Wednesday evening.
A Takfiri terrorist group based in Pakistan claimed responsibility for the cowardly act.
