TEHRAN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said it has launched barrages of ballistic missiles against the bases of "terrorists" and Israel's intelligence service Mossad in Syria and Iraq's Kurdistan Region respectively in response to recent anti-Iran "terror" attacks.
The IRGC announced the attacks in three statements published on Sepah News early Tuesday, describing the operations, which it said were carried out at midnight, as responses to recent "terrorist attacks" in the southeastern Iranian provinces of Kerman and Sistan and Baluchestan as well as Israel's assassinations of Iranian and resistance commanders.
Four people were killed as a result of the missile strike conducted by IRGC on Iraqi Kurdistan's capital of Erbil, according to an Iraqi security source.
On Jan. 3, two "suicide terrorists" detonated two bombs near the tomb of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Kerman, which resulted in over 90 deaths and 280 injuries. The IS terrorist group on Jan. 4 claimed responsibility for the bombings. ■
