An Iranian military base near the city of Rabat in east (Iranian) Kurdistan was destroyed two days ago. The base, which had been named Tabatabai Military Base, is one of many strategic military bases built in Kurdistan by the Iranian regime.
According to local residents speaking to Kurdistan Press Agency, Iranian military personnel had visited the base frequently in recent weeks.
Military bases were built by the Iranian regime all over Kurdistan in the course of its war against the Peshmerga Forces of Kurdistan from early 1980 until the mid-1990s.
The Tabatabai Military Base was destroyed by a professional group bearing arms that moved swiftly in and out of the area, according to local residents.
For months, Iran has been carrying out a new military build-up in east Kurdistan, massing troops on the border with south Kurdistan and deploying weaponry to cross-border regions.
In recent weeks, the Iranian military has set out to create a “security zone” covering 25 kilometers close to cities of Sardasht and Shno (Oshnavieh). According to Kurdistan Press Agency, the Iranian regime intends to build similar “zones” in other parts of Kurdistan encompassing 150 kilometers.
The destruction of the Tabatabai Military Base as well as the massing of Iranian troops on the border with south Kurdistan come at a time when the Peshmerga Forces of PDKI have returned to their traditional locations and bases in the border region between south and east Kurdistan.
They are believed to have established a presence in the vicinity of towns and villages in east Kurdistan as well.
