BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition Forces captured what are believed to be terrorists with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) from Iran in a raid Tuesday in Shulah.
Coalition Forces received sustained small arms and rocket propelled grenade (RPG) fire from terrorists during a precision raid to capture or kill operatives with connections to the IRGC-QF. Coalition Forces returned fire on the identified enemy positions killing four terrorists.
The captured suspected terrorists are believed to be key players in a major facilitation network for smuggling weapons and components of Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs) from Iran into Iraq to be used against Coalition Forces.
“Coalition troops continue to conduct highly successful raids to capture these terrorists who bring EFPs and other lethal aid from Iran into Iraq,” said Major Marc Young, MNF-I spokesperson. “Iranian influence is hindering the prospects of peace and stability in Iraq. We remain committed to dismantling terror networks that seek to kill innocent Iraqis and Coalition Forces.”
Capture = Bad. Kill = Better.
Iran will just keep sending them until we send them a strong message that it won’t be tolerated like sinking a couple of their navy ships for every Iranian Troop we find in Iraq. We never even have to step foot in Iran.
When,Oh when are we going to make Iran pay for what she is doing?The War in Iraq would be over and that area would be at peace except for the trouble coming from Iran.
Hey allah, better order up another batch of Helen Thomases.
elements in SA and Syria are doing their part too.

You’re right. Iran needs a bloody nose badly. But no one has the balls to do it.
