Tehran, IRNA- Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps confirms it has targeted the espionage headquarters of the Zionist regime in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region with ballistic missiles as part of an operation against anti-Iran terror groups and networks in the region.
The IRGC in three separate announcements linked the overnight operations to terrorists and their backers involved in the recent terror attacks in the Iranian cities of Kerman and Rasak.
Two earlier statements published by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps clarified that it fired a number of missiles on spy centers and the gathering of anti-Iran terrorist groups in parts of the region, including in Syria.
A third statement addressing to the Iranian nation, the IRGC announced the targeting and destruction of the Mossad headquarters in Iraq’s Kurdistan with ballistic missiles for its role as well as the plot the Israeli regime’s spy agency hatched to assassinate Iranian and resistance commanders.

Iraqi officials say 4 civilians killed in Iranian missile attack, including Kurdish businessman
ERBIL, Iraq — A missile attack by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on targets in Iraq’s Erbil killed at least four civilians, officials say.
The Kurdistan security council says four people died and six others were wounded in the attack, while the Kurdistan Democratic Party says “a massive ballistic missile attack” has killed a number of civilians “including Peshraw Dizayee, the prominent Kurdish businessman.”

Four killed in IRGC attack on Erbil: KRG

Peshraw Dizayee, a well-known Kurdish businessman and the owner of Falcon Group which runs major projects such as Empire World, succumbed to his injuries around 1:00 am on Tuesday after his house was struck by a missile, former deputy speaker of the Kurdistan Region parliament Hemin Hawrami confirmed on X.
In a later statement on early Tuesday, the IRGC claimed that “three Mossad bases” were targeted in the Erbil bombardments, despite the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) having categorically rejected the presence of Israeli intelligence in the Kurdistan Region.
Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani last week said that the Region will not become a “source of threat” to Iran, amid threats by the IRGC to launch attacks on Erbil for allegedly housing secret Mossad bases.
In late December, KRG spokesperson Peshawa Hawramani reiterated that there are no Israeli bases in the Kurdistan Region, a day after a pro-Iran militia claimed it had struck an Israeli base in Erbil with a drone.
In March of 2022, Iran attacked Erbil with twelve ballistic missiles, striking the residence of a well-known Kurdish businessman. The IRGC claimed responsibility for targeting “the strategic center of the Zionist conspiracy and evil by point-to-point missile.”
It’s pretty risky to attack the Kurds. I expect some IRGC guys in the local area to disappear.
Senator Biden had it right. An independent Kurdistan.
I suggest a small tactical nuke retaliation on Tehran.
Ezekiel 38 is coming
Do you really think the Mossad HQ is a real thing. Perhaps Iran just wanted to kill some special Kurds and said they were hitting Mossad in order to give them justification, cover their true aims, and to garner some much needed brownie points from among their faithful?
I doubt their was a sign outside Mossad HQ announcing their presence.
Undoubtedly Mossad has a presence in Irbil. Whether it was hit is hard to say. The Kurdish businessman “richest in Iraq” is a likely Israel sympathizer.

Don’t target Tehran. Target Qom.
I think Iran did it to demonstrate the precision of the missiles they have now. Basically if Israel bombs them they have ways of striking back.
Sure is looking more and more like it.
Yes it is. I follow Amir on telegram. Since I don’t believe anything the media say, I will go see if he has anything to say about it.
Amir mentioned it today, what the Iranians are claiming. There were missiles going off, for sure. I don’t think it matters what they were aiming at. The fact is, they launched missiles. An act of war. We shall see.
I watched “The Military Summary Channel” today on youtube.
He said that Russia had just signed a full fledged defense treaty with Iran today. Have you all heard anything about that game changer?
Amir claimed the missile attack, was not an attack on any Israeli intel outfit, or U.S. facilities. It was an attack on the Kurds.
