Iran has deployed Mohammad Pakpour, brigadier general of the ground forces of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), to an outpost outside the Kurdish town of Shno (Oshnavieh).
The IRGC has published several photos of Pakpour visiting IRGC outposts outside Shno. Pakpour’s visit to the IRGC outpost comes after that PDKI deployed its Peshmerga Forces to the region.
According to Peshmerga intelligence reports the distance between the Peshmerga Forces and IRGC members is only 3 kilometres.
The photos released by IRGC verify earlier Peshmerga intelligence reports which revealed that Iran has amassed large forces to the border region between eastern (Iranian) and southern (Iraqi) Kurdistan and that agents of Iran’s intelligence agency are dressing in Kurdish cloths to collect information from local residents on Peshmerga movements.
