In recent months, British special forces crossed the border with Iran several times. This happens within the framework of the unnecessary border war with the Al-Quds detachments, which are part of the Islamic Revolution Guardians, the British Sunday Times writes on Sunday with reference to sources in the British Ministry of Defense.
The British command is confident that Iran uses the cessation of hostilities in the south of Iraq to increase the supply of weapons to local armed groups. The latter can use it to strike at the airport in the Basra, the base of the British troops.
"Over the past month, they (British special forces - ed.) Participated in six armed clashes, in which 17 smugglers were killed and weapons, explosives and rockets were captured," the newspaper source said. He did not specify whether all the dead were Iranians.
The British coordinate their actions on the Iranian border with the detachments of the Australian and American special forces. They patroll the boundaries and arrange ambushes to smugglers.
Sources of the publication claim that British detachments are not related to preparing the US attack on Iraq and only try to stop the smuggling of weapons.
Official London never recognized the invasion of his troops into the territory of Iran. Last week, the Minister of Defense of Great Bob, Bob Ainsvors, said that the Ministry could not say anything about the dead British military or the captured Iranians or Iraqi.
