Iran announced Monday that it had launched missile strikes against « anti-Iranian » targets and « spy headquarters » in Iraq and Syria amid escalating regional tensions.
Iran announced late Monday that it had launched strikes against a « spy headquarters and the gathering of anti-Iranian terrorist groups » shortly after missiles hit an area near the U.S. consulate in Irbil, the seat of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region.
Soon after, a statement from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on state media said it had struck « terrorist operations » including Islamic State targets in Syria « and destroyed them by firing a number of ballistic missiles. » Another statement claimed that it had hit a headquarters of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, in the Kurdish region of Iraq.
