In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ISIL called the terrorists who have been killed in operations or executed after their capture in Iran as the "Sunni youth", and threatened the Iranian government with revenge, FNA reported.

The statement also described the Iranian government as "Rafidah (heretic)", and promised the families of the slain terrorists to wait for the revenge of their sons by the ISIL.

The Iranian intelligence ministry announced in a statement earlier this month that the country's security forces have traced and captured or killed 102 members of a terrorist group who carried out operations mostly in Western and Northwestern Iran.

"102 members and supporters of the Takfiri terrorist group called "Tohid and Jahad" have been identified in operations and prosecuted judicially; some of them have been killed in armed clashes with the Law Enforcement Police and security forces and a number of others have been arrested and executed or sentenced to prison terms," the statement said last Wednesday.

The statement said that the group has a record of armed robbery, attacks against the police forces and killing civilians and governmental officials.

The terrorist group had killed 20 Iranian people and wounded 40 others in different cities of Western and Northwestern Iran, including Kurdistan people's representative at the Assembly of Experts martyr Mohammad Sheikholeslam and prominent Sunni cleric martyr Borhan Aali, it added.
