The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, the elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) claimed responsibility for the missile attack on Erbil, the target of which was Israeli facilities in Iraq, the Iranian agency Young Journalists Club reported on Sunday citing IRGC statement.
"Last night the strategic center of the Zionist conspiracy and evil was targeted by the powerful missiles of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," according to the statement.
It is noted that the missile blow was delivered "following the recent crimes" of Israel.
"Once again, we warn the criminal Zionist regime that the repetition of any evil will face harsh, decisive and destructive responses," the statement says.
On Sunday night, several rockets landed near the US Consulate General in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil. A number of Arab media outlets reported that the strike could have hit Israeli Mossad intelligence facilities. The authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan denied the information that Israeli intelligence centers are located in the province of Erbil.
On March 8, the IRIB Broadcasting Corporation reported that two IRGC officers were killed during an Israeli strike in the Damascus region.
