Following the incident with downing of a Syrian Air Force Su-22 warplane by the US warplane, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched medium-range ground-to-ground missiles at ISIS targets in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor.
According to the IRGC, the missiles were launched from the western Iranian provinces of Kermanshah and Kordestan, flied through Iraq’s airspace and hit terrorists targets in Syria.
Iran reportedly used Zolfaqar missiles, recently supplied to the IRGC.
The Iranian state-run media argued that a high number of ISIS terrorists were killed as a result of the attack. However, no numbers were provided.
The IRGC statement said that the missile strike was a response to the recent ISIS-claimed terrorist attack in Tehran.
However, it’s clear that this missile strike was a message to the US-led coalition and US-backed forces in Syria. The Deir Ezzor missile strike shows that Iran is capable to conduct a missile strike on joint garrisons of the US-led coalition forces and US-backed militant groups located near the villages of At Tanf and al-Zquf at the border with Iraq.

bulshit
excuse me??? i do not appreicate your comment, as i am of persian heritage
iran will not do this.
not now, but things change.
no chance. iran is simply not in 1 category with germany, usa is for them another universe.
the difference between nuclear iran and not nuclear iran is 2 hours of changing warheads on missiles.
yes. and from where get the nuclear warheads? :D you should write political scifi. :D
Iran is believed to have 4 in their possession from the Ukraine bazar.
There was speculation that Iran bought several nukes from France in the mid 70s as protection from the USSR when they attacked Iraq and took smaller countries by surprise. The US was said to have thought about attacking Iran(their ally) because they threatened the KSA. The US did nothing because the Iranians made clear to the US that they had nukes from France. As nothing happened, military wise, from the US, most assumed it to be true, as France could have assured the US of the truth, one way or the other. The US did nothing. If the US (or Israel, Irans ally at the time) did not, somehow, obtain these possible nukes during the chaos that was Iran at the time, it is possible that they do indeed have some nukes. 1 is all it takes for Israel.
they just did idiot
Has anyone ever considered if these missiles did indeed hit their targets or not?! The end result would lay a lot of speculation to rest about ‘who is going to do what’ and ‘in what way.’
this was the mai reason
The IRGC statement said that the missile strike was a response to the recent ISIS-claimed terrorist attack in Tehran.
the second was to test the missiles.
third was not
They did. With pin-point accuracy.
click the link and watch the vids, they were just released.

Iran will never launch a missile attack against US forces or US allies. Because that will mean a US invasion (supported by Israel and the KSA+UAE+lapdogs) and we all know what happens to Iran then.
invading Iran today is pretty close to invade Japan during WW2. The US political power is not in the position of explaining something like that to the public and to the military.
bullshit,like your predictions with russan supermacy in syria.
Who would be this force that would invade Iran? Why do you think they would be successful?
they dont need invade. it is enough 2 days, 400 planes and 1000 tomahawks and iranis back in middle age. remember bekaa valley. in 4 hours 200 israeli jets destroyed the complet syrian army in lebanon. i remeber, this battle was the reason, why fall the generals in ussr, and came to might gorbachew with perestroika.
iran has no modern airforce, no modern defense system. what russia sold them is old, dumb export version. iran would end like bekaa valey.
I doubt you can subdue Iran from the air only, espicially is they have plenty of ballistic missiles, Its most likely they have more toys to show . Air Power has limited usés, and do you honestly think Iran hasent protected their assets n’y building some underground bunkers. Clearly your an amateur, as I am.
There are too few Benzos and BMWs in Iran, which for this user equates to a population that is not able to defend its country.
I don’t think you are correct, traumatic memory.
if they keep the proportion they had in Syria, about 800 tomahawks will lose their targets and “vanish”, along with 280 planes.
Also, keep listening to Israeli propaganda. It’s among the most hilarious of the entire world, and it’s very indicative on how much the Israeli public and jews in general are being treated like idiots by their own press.
You have American battle plan A correct , they have air superiority , they use it without mercy . What we do not know is Iranian air defense , and how long it can hold . and can they take out the US satellites giving them intel . We will hope the anti Iran and anti Russian mood will pass , and America will recover from its paranoid delusions .
US would most definitely retaliate, but i am not sure a ground invasion of Iran is in the cards.
Iran attacks US base in Al Tanf…and nothing will happen!…Iran is a military power able to cut ormuz straight and sink saudi arabia!…
sure. have they anti helium?
Iran has published its land ballistic missiles hit towed targets in the Persian Gulf. Saudi Old King and Queen oil fields are water injection via the coastal desalination Water plants. Destroy those plants….Oilfields will collapse . Iranian missile targeting has improved since Lebanon 2006 war. Hezbollah can accurately hit targets in Israel. This strike by Iran in Dier Ezzor is big wake up call to Israel, Saudi and US, Whose USN ships will be going to the bottom if they attack Iran.
russia would not just sit and let that happen to iran either way
be sure, would do nothing. russia never did enything for his “allies” never.
That is not true, just because Russia doesnt sink a carrier every time someone shoots down a 50 year old jet doesnt mean you are correct.
oh really? what is it doing in syria right now then? clowning around?
this is not help. no protection against american. russia defends only tartus. nothing else. be sure at least half year ago putin agreed with division of syria. and in this case for syrians is everything wronger, only russia will have naval and airbase.
otherwise, help is not for money. until today each russian wweapon, each russian bomb dropped, each liter of fuel used by russians was paid. and in advance. this told the russian site, too.
have you not seen the hundreds of articles on here saying how russian air force and army is helping SAA like every single day? they are doing much more than just defending tartus u imbecile
Even if it’s so – what’s wrong with that? Russia is not a mom for the other country. An ally – yes.
You spit alot of worthless names. The Arab force to support NATO ps being destroyed, its ISIS. The other Arab force cant get past their front door in Yemen…so fuck off. im sure if stuff happens, much unexpected
An invasion which the US would lose unless they used nuclear weapons. Unlike the Iraqis the Revolitionary Guard is a well trained and highly competent fighting force, with Russian air defense systems and modern weapons.
Unsupported they could grind the Americans down for years until they end up with another Vietnam situation. With Russian suport they would outright kick them out.
In both cases Israel is reduced to ashes, which is the main reason the US will never invade Iran before first dealing with China and Russia.
Looking good.
The Stakes have just been raised a little higher.
This is huge!
Trump will back away, the situations already won, Kurds as the only US auxiliary ground force is a bumper sticker saying once I knew a Syrian Kurd.
i love it LONG LIVE NEW PERSIAN EMPIRE :))))))))))
yup, if you will be zoroatrisna, then all right. new islamic empire is not needed.
daesh does not represent islam at all
islamic state of iran ;)
yes and?
It is always a good thing too keep god in low profile in international affairs.
Why?
Religion is an instrument for human souls, not for political affairs.
Because there are many views towards religion and they cannot be reduced to the vision of the other. They cannot be rationalised. And every faith must be respected. (But it is a good question, since god always keeps peeping in the discussions, sometimes as the light reflected in islamic architecture, sometimes as the light of the stained-glass windows of European cathedrals, sometimes as darkness when fanatics behead or burn whom the call heretics). I praise Assad because he is religious tolerant in a region where this is missing!
I’m running out of comments to read because I’ve been blocking antisemite dickheads, haSSbara trolls and ordinary garden variety dickheards but can always rely on you for a sensible comment; thank you. ;o)
lol sure thing :))
of Course there are anti semites here! What do u expect? Israel has repeatedly attacked SAA positions and soldiers! Dont come to a pro Syrian and Russian site and complain about anti-semitism! Israel is just as much an enemy as the US! Even more so! Dont get on ur high horse and speak shit on a po syrian and pro russian site when u know for a fact that this is a US / Israel war! Fuck…. people like u really piss me off! Let me get this straight, according to u we can speak poorly about USA or Turkey or Russia or Syria but we cant speak poorly of Israel and their bullshit they have created in the middle east. Go fuck yourself! Jews are scum! END OF STORY! Im white, im australian and i hate USA and JEWS! Jews mainly because ive been racially rejected by them in my own country! Wouldnt let me join a gym because its for JEWS only! Fuck the Jews!
” Wouldnt let me join a gym because its for JEWS only! Fuck the Jews!” You seem to have personal issues, please do not take it out on this website. PS: How is the Qatar pipeline going ? :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Qatar pipeline not going! Good news! So im happy these days! Just gotta cut out those people who protect israel! Israel is very very guilty! Enough said! Thanks for coming!
Ahura Mazda , the Zoroastrian , “God of Truth” .
May it be REBORN. A multiethnic empire not unlike the Russian Empire (may it also come back into life).-
Iran just letting off some steam.. no drama
Oh, Dios, qué noticia tan magnífica.
Iran is a great power in the Middle East. Iran produces more than 80% defence products in their home country. That is why in the Muslim world Ezrahel only scare from Iran.
