Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they have fired missiles @ eastern Syria targeting the ringleaders of the deadly attack on a military parade in Ahvaz. Many terrorists were killed or injured during the strikes.
Iranian state television suggested that the missiles hit an area close to the border town of Albu Kamal where ISIS mercenaries are known to operate against Syria.
ISIS and ethnic Arab separatists from Ahvaz both claimed the 22 September parade attack, in which 25 people died.
On September 22, a group of gunmen opened fire during a military parade in the Khuzestan province of Iran, killing 25 people, including one journalist and, reportedly, over a dozen Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps servicemen.
According to Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, its forces found the terrorists’ hideout and arrested 22 individuals suspected of involvement in the Ahvaz attack that Tehran blames on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
In June, Iran fired six medium-range ballistic missiles at a terrorist hideout in Syria’s western Deir ez-Zor province killing 65 terrorists, including several high-ranking intelligence commanders, in retaliation for twin terrorist attacks in the Iranian capital Tehran, which killed 17 people and injured over 50 others.
