Iran says IRGC officer killed in Israeli strike in Syria
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Friday one of its officers stationed in Syria was killed in an Israeli strike near Damascus earlier in the day.
“At dawn today, Friday, Milad Heydari, one of the IRGC’s military in Syria, was martyred in a criminal attack by the Zionist regime near Damascus,” the IRGC said in a statement carried by state media.
The IRGC vowed to retaliate for the killing of Heydari.
“Undoubtedly, the fake and criminal Zionist regime will receive a response for this crime.”
