Zarif: Iran’s missile capability helps int’l anti-terror fight
By Trend
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that the
Islamic Republic's missile capability helps the international fight
against terrorism.
Iran's missile capability protects its citizens in lawful
self-defense and advances common global fight to eradicate ISIS
(ISIL aka Islamic State) terrorist group and extremist terror,
Zarif wrote on his twitter account June 19.
The top Iranian diplomat’s statement comes after the IRGC targeted
ISIS positions in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor on June 18 in response to
the group’s recent terror attacks in Tehran, which killed 18 people
and injured 50 more.
All of the six mid-range ballistic missiles targeting the
terrorist positions have hit the intended targets, according to the
IRGC.
The missiles were launched from Iran’s western provinces of
Kermanshah and Kordestan and passed through Iraq’s territory before
hitting the targets in Syria.
The IRGC coordinated the attack with the Syrian government prior to
launching missiles.
