IRGC Warns to Target More Zionist Bases in Iraqi Kurdistan

“If Iraqi officials do not take action to remove other bases of the Zionists in that  country while our security continues to be threatened from this region, we will respond without hesitation,” General Sharif said.

He reiterated that “the Zionists had admitted themselves that their drones” which flew over a military base in Iran’s Kermanshah Province had taken off from their bases in Erbil (capital city of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region).

“It is our natural right to destroy any base from which any attack is carried out against the security of Iran and this is a redline for us,” General Sharif said.

He pointed out that Iranian ambassador to Iraq Iraj Masjedi had on several occasions warned the Iraqi Kurdistan Region about the presence of the Mossad base, which was recently attacked by the IRGC.

Last week, Scores of ballistic missiles hit secret Mossad bases in Erbil, reportedly leaving several Israeli operatives dead.

Citing security sources, Iraq’s Sabereen News reported that two Mossad training centers were targeted by ballistic missiles in the early hours of Sunday.

Al-Mayadeen said a Mossad base on the Masif-Saladin street in Erbil was “fully razed to the ground and a number of Israeli mercenaries were killed or injured”.

In a relevant development earlier this week, Iranian lawmakers in a statement voiced support for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ strong and eye-catching attack on the Zionist regime of Israel.

“The Iranian parliament supports the strong action taken to target the Zionist regime’s center of plot and evil through the IRGC precision missiles with pinpoint accuracy,” 213 out of 290 parliamentarians said via the statement at the end of their open session on Tuesday.

In a relevant development on Sunday, the IRGC in a statement claimed responsibility for a missile attack against Israel’s strategic center for conspiracy and evil, warning Tel Aviv that any wrong move will not go unanswered.

In reaction to the event, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said that Iran will never tolerate existence of a center of plotting on its borders.

According to the Iranian parliament’s statement, the IRGC has a good record in the fight against terrorism and the advisory presence in regional countries.

Further, parliamentarians reiterated that “global peace and security should be preserved and the illegitimate regime’s evil and brutal acts should be condemned”.

National security of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its strong Armed Forces is considered as red line by nation’s representatives; and the Iranian parliament sees the IRGC’s recent brave move as the one was within the framework of country’s laws to defend the nation.

The IRGC in its statement issued a stern warning to Israel following a retaliatory missile strike on the “strategic center of Zionist conspiracy and evil” in the Northern Iraqi Kurdistan city of Erbil, stressing that the operation was in response to an Israeli airstrike on the Syrian capital of Damascus last Monday, in which two IRGC officers were martyred.

“Following the recent crimes of the fake Zionist regime and the previous announcement that the crimes and evils of this infamous regime will not go unanswered, the strategic center for conspiracy and evil of the Zionists was targeted by powerful and pinpoint missiles of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps,” it said. 

“Once again, we warn the criminal Zionist regime that the repetition of any evil will face harsh, decisive and destructive responses,” the IRGC statement said.

“We also assure the great nation of Iran that the security and peace of the Islamic homeland is the red line of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran and they will not allow anyone to threaten or attack it.”
