💥IRAN LAUNCHES MISSILE STRIKE TARGETING MOSSAD HEADQUARTERS IN KURDISTAN💥
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. (IRGC) of Iran targeted the headquarters of Israel's secret services, known globally as the Mossad, as well as several other positions of "terrorists" in Syria, with missile strikes, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
“The action was in defense of the country’s sovereignty and security, and countering terrorism, and was a part of the Islamic Republic’s just punishment against violators of the country’s security,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani said in a statement.
“The Islamic Republic has always supported peace, stability, and security in the region and respected other countries' sovereignty, nonetheless, Tehran will not hesitate to exercise its legitimate and legal right to deter all sources of threats against its national security, defend its citizens and punish the criminals,” Kan’ani added.
In his statement, Kan'ani said that the recent terrorist attacks inside Iran were a result of a "miscalculation by the enemy" and that the IRGC launched "a targeted operation" targeting terrorists with "precise projectiles" after identifying their positions.
“Terrorism is a global threat, and Iran is determined to counter-terrorism within the framework of joint regional and international cooperation,” Kan’ani said about the strikes.
According to the IRGC statement, Iran said it fired several barrages of ballistic missiles at the bases of terrorists inside Syria, who were involved in recent attacks in Iran, in addition to targeting the headquarters of Israel's spy center in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The IRGC said its first missile targeted a gathering of commanders of terrorist cells that conducted the operations in Kerman and Rask, adding that the strike was launched as a result of information gathering on the Daesh takfiri terrorist group, known in the West as ISIS or ISIL.
The IRGC also said that a second missile strike targeted the main espionage center for Israel's Mossad secret services, and added that the strike resulted in the complete destruction of the Mossad headquarters there.
Iran says that the Mossad headquarters were used to "develop espionage operations and plan acts of terrorism" across the region, and added the strike was in retaliation for the recent assassinations of Resistance commanders by the Zionist entity.
A separate strike also conducted last night targeted Azhi Amin, a former al-Qaeda affiliate who was reportedly killed in the Iranian strike.
IRGC Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of Iran's Aerospace Forces told Press TV that approximately two dozen missiles were launched from three different Iranian provinces.
Four Kheibar-Shekan missiles were launched from southern Khuzastan towards Syria's Idlib Province, while four missiles were launched from Khermanshah region, and Seven others fired from East Azerbaijan towards the Mossad spy headquarters. In addition, nine missiles were launched towards various terrorist cells in Syria.
