New Footage Emerges Showing Abducted Iranian Border Guards

The video, obtained and released by the Iranian border police force, shows the 12 abductees saying their names. It is not clear where or when the video has been recorded.

Pakistani-based terrorists kidnapped 14 Iranian forces at a border post in Mirjaveh region in Sistan and Balouchestan province on October 15.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday pointed to his recent visit to Pakistan in order to help release the Iranian border guards and said the Pakistani officials have promised to step up their efforts to secure the release of the abducted border guards.

Iranian military forces along the southeastern border areas are frequently attacked by terrorist groups coming from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Tehran has frequently asked the two neighbors to step up security at the common border to prevent terrorist attacks on Iranian forces.
