Iran Press/Iran news: A member of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has been killed by "counter-revolutionary" elements in this operation.
The IRGC serviceman, named Seyyed Hadi Ojagh, was injured in operation but succumbed to his wounds en route to a hospital, Iran Press reported.
The clash came a few weeks after the IRGC staged a multi-pronged offensive on terrorist positions along the border with Iraq’s Kurdistan region, inflicting heavy losses on the militants.
On 10 July, IRGC launched several strikes against terrorist positions along the border with Iraq’s Kurdistan region using artillery fire, missiles, and drones.
The IRGC Ground Force warned the Kurdistan Regional Government to prevent the terrorist groups from using the areas near the common border with Iran and to stop them from setting up camps for training, organizing and deploying terrorist teams into Iran, but the warnings went unheeded.
The IRGC is tasked with protecting the country’s northwestern and southeastern borders, and the Islamic Republic of Iran Border Guard Command patrols other borders of the country. 101/211/205
