TEHRAN - Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it has launched barrages of ballistic missiles against the bases of "terrorists" and Israel's intelligence service Mossad in Syria and Iraq's Kurdistan Region respectively in response to recent anti-Iran "terror" attacks.

The IRGC announced the attacks in three statements published on Sepah News early Tuesday, describing the operations, which it said were carried out at midnight, as responses to recent "terrorist attacks" in the southeastern Iranian provinces of Kerman and Sistan and Baluchestan as well as Israel's assassinations of Iranian and resistance commanders.
