Iran’s IRGC confirms firing 7 missiles at Iraq-based terrorists

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRCG) confirms that it has fired seven short-range missiles at a gathering of terrorist commanders in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

“The missile unit of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force in cooperation with the drone unit of the [IRGC’s] Ground Force yesterday (Saturday) targeted the headquarters and a meeting of leaders of a criminal grouplet and a center for training affiliated terrorists with seven short-range surface-to-surface missiles,” the IRGC said in a statement.

Following wicked actions taken by terrorist groups affiliated with the global arrogance from the Kurdistan region against Iran’s border areas in recent months, the IRGC decided to counter and punish the aggressors, it added.

According to the statement, the IRGC’s Ground Force managed to deal a heavy blow to numerous terrorist teams who sought to create insecurity and carry out acts of sabotage in the Iranian provinces of West Azarbaijan, Kordestan and Kermanshah.

The statement emphasized that the missile attack was carried out after the terrorist groups’ ringleaders ignored serious warnings by officials of the Iraqi Kurdistan region about the Islamic Republic’s determination to dismantle their bases and the necessity to end their aggressive and terrorist acts against Iran.

The decisive operation showed that the IRGC and other sections of Iranian Armed Forces as well as the intelligence and security institutions are “determined to safeguard borders and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran and to defend high ideals and goals of the Islamic Revolution and will not allow terrorists recruited by the enemies’ intelligence services to endanger the country’s exemplary security.”

In early August, the IRGC announced that it had disbanded a team of terrorists on the country’s border with Iraq, killing 11 of its members.
