TEHRAN, July 9 (Xinhua) -- The forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have dismantled a "terrorist team" at the country's northwestern borders, the official news agency IRNA reported on Tuesday.

Members of the "counter-revolutionary terrorist team" sought to enter Iran through the northwestern borders, but were ambushed and smashed early Tuesday by the forces of the IRGC Ground Force's Hamzeh Seyyed Al-Shohada Base in the West Azarbaijan province, the IRNA quoted a statement by the base as saying.

A number of the "terrorists" were killed and wounded in the armed clash with the IRGC forces and their equipment was confiscated, the statement said, without specifying the terrorists' affiliation or identity and location of the operation.

The IRGC base also warned that any action against Iran's security and territorial integrity would receive a decisive and firm response.
