TEHRAN (Basirat) :The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that it has conducted missile attacks against Takfiri (extremist) terrorists’ key sites in Syria’s eastern region of Deir Ez-zor in retaliation for deadly terrorist attacks in Tehran.

The IRGC further said "the punitive and retaliatory move has conveyed a clear message to Takfiri terrorists and their regional and trans-regional sponsors” that the repetition of any evil move against the Iranian nation would ignite the IRGC’s retaliatory act against criminal perpetrators.
