Simultaneously with the bombardment, Iranian guards put under fire our forces. Our comrades Redur, Rojbin, and Evrim have reached martyrdom in the conflict with Iranian guards.
Until today, as a movement, we have not taken part in the concepts developed against Iran and we have no intention to do so. But if this action taken by Iran at the border is not an individual one, and if Iran continues collaborating with the Turkish state, then we state clearly that we would need to re-evaluate our position against Iran.
