The forces thwarted terrorist groups' plots to transfer 80 kilograms of composite explosives, 17 booby traps, 28 pistols with 2,100 bullets, 35 hand grenades, tens of electronic detonators and other explosive equipment through technical and intelligence operations, the statement added.

Iran, which has a 900-kilometer common border with Afghanistan, has been used as the main conduit for smuggling Afghan drugs to narcotics kingpins in Europe.

Despite high economic and human costs, the Islamic Republic has been actively fighting drug-trafficking over the past three decades.

The country has spent more than $700 million on sealing its borders and preventing the transit of narcotics destined for European, Arab and Central Asian countries.

The war on drug trade originating from Afghanistan has claimed the lives of nearly 4,000 Iranian police officers over the past four decades.

"After the defeat of ISIL, members of gangs from Syria and Iraq are moving to other regions. The group's leaders pay special attention to Central Asian countries... According to our estimate, about 10,000 militants, most of whom are members of ISIL... are concentrated on Afghanistan's territory," Lapin said.

At the core of these revolutionary doctrines, there is no beneficiary. Ultimately, everybody is a victim. The revolution is aimed towards children. In a revolutionary process, you see a perpetual radicalization of ideas. The revolutionary of yesterday is a martyr today and tomorrow is going to be a counter-revolutionary that will go through the guillotine. And I think Feminism is not different from that. You see all those waves, first waves and second waves, always more radical then the last. You see feminists from the 70s and 80s that are appalled by Feminism today and say it went way too far. And the feminists of today will be appalled by Feminism in 5 years and say it went way too far.

Because, at the core of those doctrines there is a quest for power through victimhood - alleged victimhood. It's a competition for power and the ultimate winner is the ultimate victim - alleged victim. There cannot be any winner. It's a never ending race where you sacrifice, step-by-step, portions of the population.
