Iran Press/Iran news: On Friday morning, for third consecutive day, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps IRGC Ground Forces has launched several retaliatory strikes against terrorist positions in Iraq’s Kurdistan region harboring terrorists near the Iranian border regions.
The IRGC said in a statement on Friday morning that the active strongholds of terrorists in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and the centers in which the anti-Revolution terrorist groups were stationed and received training along borders have been attacked since Wednesday, July 10.
The statement noted that the attacks had inflicted major casualties on the terror groups, killing and injuring many of their key members, Iran Press reported.
The IRGC said it has launched the strikes in retaliation for the recent terrorist attacks on parts of Iran’s western and northwestern regions by the anti-Iranian groups affiliated with the global arrogance that resulted in the martyrdom of three Iranian servicemen and were aimed at upsetting security in the provinces of Kurdistan and West Azerbaijan.
The IRGC Ground Force had already 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 statement noted.
IRGC in the statement slammed the terrorists for using civilians as human shields in the Kurdistan region.
According to the statement, the IRGC Ground Force has employed its missile, drone and artillery units to attack the active centers of terrorists, and has killed and injured a large number of them after annihilating the centers.
The IRGC launched several Fateh 110 precision-guided missiles at a high-profile meeting of Kurdish terror groups leaders in Iraq in response to their actions against peace and stability in Iran’s Western regions.
Those attacks killed at least 18 terrorist ringleaders and injured many more. 205/208
