Military operations against the Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) terrorist group have forced the militants to accept Iran's terms and withdraw from the country's soil, said Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Abdullah Araqi, Press TV reported with reference to Fars news agency.
He added that PJAK has accepted to retreat one kilometer away from the Iranian border and to refrain from military activities on Iran's soil and recruitment of Iranian nationals.
The senior IRGC commander also noted that Iranian forces killed 180 PJAK terrorists and wounded 300 others during the recent operations.
Brigadier General Araqi further pointed out that Iranian forces are now in full control of the Jasosan heights and are building bunkers in the area.
PJAK conceded defeat last week and pulled out of their main base, located in the Jasosan heights near Iran's western city of Sardasht.
Delavar Ranjbarzadeh, a top IRGC commander, told IRNA on September 18 that Iranian forces captured the main PJAK base in northern Iran.
The Iranian commander said that military equipment belonging to the terrorist group was also confiscated during the raid.
Members of the terrorist PJAK group - an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - regularly engage in armed clashes with Iranian security forces along the country's western borders with Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.
Both organizations launch their attacks from Iraq's Qandil Mountains in the areas under the control of Kurdistan Regional Government.
The United States in February 2009 designated PJAK as an international terrorist organization.
