The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force (IRGC-AF), Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said that "enemies" are seeking to turn the border tension with Afghanistan into a war and that there is no need to be concerned about it in reference to the recent clashes between Iranian and Islamic Emirate border guards.

Speaking at the Tehran University of Science and Technology, Hajizadeh called the clashes with the border forces of the Islamic Emirate "unimportant."
