Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said three of its members were killed in a US missile strike on July 30. The information was carried by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency, citing an IRGC statement, according to Al Jazeera. The statement said the deaths resulted from a US attack.
The IRGC’s Ansar al-Mahdi branch in Zanjan province identified the three men as Mahmoud Mollajabari, Mohammadreza Cheraghi and Jamal Amiri. The corps said they died while defending Iran’s borders and its people. No further details about the location or circumstances of the reported missile strike were provided in the source.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard condemned the attack, calling it a brutal assault by what it described as the United States’ criminal terrorist regime. The IRGC also expressed condolences to Iran’s supreme leader, the families of those killed and the Iranian people. There was no immediate response from the United States regarding the reported attack.
