Iran's Police Chief Ahmadreza Radan announced plans to set up three command centers to oversee Takavaran units (elite special operations forces) in the nation’s desert areas.
"While Iran's vast desert regions have undeniable geographical beauty, they are not without their inherent complexities and strategic considerations; we aim to guarantee that the desert remains a secure and stable environment, free from any acts of malice or unrest," Radan added.
Elaborating on their locations, Radan explained that one command center will be established in Semnan, another in the Kerman and Yazd regions, and the central command will oversee operations in Sistan-Baluchestan and South Khorasan provinces.
Iran's Sistan-Baluchestan province has experienced numerous attacks attributed to Jaish al-Adl, a group notorious for ambushes, bombings, and other operations that have claimed the lives of both civilians and security personnel.
Jaish al-Adl advocates for an independent Balochistan, encompassing Baloch populations on both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border, and has carried out numerous armed attacks in southeastern Iran.
