The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces has announced the country's readiness to eradicate terrorism and secure the borders of Iran and Pakistan.

During a phone conversation with Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir on Tuesday, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi pointed to the need to secure the common borders of Iran and Pakistan.

"Unfortunately, the movements of terrorist groups on both sides of the border have increased, and we are ready to cooperate to eradicate terrorism in this region and secure the common borders," he said.

On Friday, a terrorist attack on two police patrol units in southeastern Iran claimed the lives of five law enforcement officers.

Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terror attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.

Grateful for Pakistan's support during the 12-day US-Israeli aggression, the top Iranian general emphasized that tangible actions against terrorists are expected as a result of this mutual collaboration.

"Of course, some steps have been taken in the past that should be increased and the shortcomings compensated," he added.

Field Marshal Munir, for his part, expressed his condolences for the martyrdom of Iranian police personnel in Sistan and Baluchestan.

The Pakistani official expressed complete agreement on the issue of border security, emphasizing the necessity of transforming the Pakistan-Iran border into one defined by friendship, brotherhood, and economic development.

He affirmed that this goal would undoubtedly be achieved through mutual cooperation.

The Iranian top general also expressed his sympathy for the people of Pakistan due to the losses and damages caused by the recent floods, adding, "We will proudly provide any assistance within the power of our armed forces to our dear brothers in Pakistan."

Heavy monsoon rains and flash floods have killed at least 739 people across Pakistan since late June, displacing thousands and destroying homes and crops, with more severe weather expected in the weeks ahead, according to UN agencies and national authorities.
