The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched missile strikes on three targets belonging to anti-Iranian “separatists” in Iraq on Saturday, the elite Iranian force said.
“Positions of separatist groups in Iraq were hit by IRGC missiles in three locations at 4:30 a.m. [01:00 GMT],” the force was quoted by the Mizan news agency as saying in a statement.
Separately, an Israeli Orbiter 4 drone was shot down over the central Iranian province of Isfahan.
Meanwhile, Iran carried out strikes on the US-run Al-Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates in the morning, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said.
“Drone units of the IRGC naval forces conducted a massive attack on the Al-Dhafra Air Base early this morning,” the statement read.
The IRGC added that the drones hit designated targets, including a satellite communication center, early warning radars, fire control radars and an air operations control center.
The United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran on Feb 28, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The US and Israel initially claimed their “preemptive” attack was necessary to counter the perceived threat coming from Iran’s nuclear program, but they soon made it clear that they want to see a change of power in Iran.
