Between November 28th and 29th, an air strike killed a commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) at the Syria-Iraq border, Reuters reported citing unnamed sources.
Reuters’ report was made based on the claims of unnamed Iraqi security and local militia officials.
The IRGC commander’s identity is also unknown. He was killed alongside three other unnamed individuals who were traveling in the same vehicle.
The vehicle was carrying weapons across the Iraqi border and was hit after it had entered Syrian territory, two Iraqi security officials separately said.
Allegedly members of an “Iran-backed Iraqi paramilitary group” which is likely the Popular Mobilization Units, which are part of the Iraqi Armed Forces, allegedly retrieved the bodies.
The incident came just days after Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in Tehran in a killing that Iran has blamed on Israel.
In the week ending on November 29th, Israel launched air raids against what it called a wide range of Syrian and Iranian targets in Syria. It also signaled it will pursue its policy of striking Iranian targets in the region as U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to leave office.
Dozens of Iran-backed fighters have been killed in Israeli strikes in Syria over the past month, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The US warned Iraq in September to reign in militias and cease attacks in the vicinity of the US Embassy. Baghdad’s Green Zone, where the US and other embassies are located, was hit by rockets again in November.
The Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV channel, which is close to the Syrian government and Lebanese Hezbollah, said that trusted sources have denied the assassination of an Iranian commander and three of his bodyguards.
Regardless, other Arab media reports claimed that the commander is (or was) named Muslim Shahdan.
A top-level UAE source told Middle East Eye on November 30th that Iran has sent a warning to the United Arab Emirates in case of a US attack on Iran.
It is unclear if a commander had, in fact, been killed, however, this is an interesting rumor at a time when a top Iranian nuclear scientist was assassinated, as well as there are reports of Trump mulling a sort of “farewell strike” on Iran.
It is a time of escalation, with Israel aggressively striking alleged Iranian targets in Syria, the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, blamed on Israel, as well as other reports of potential aggression against Tehran.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Frankly, this is totally fake news and rejected by Iran and other sources and is part of the US and Zionist psy-ops to bait Iran. Not going to work.
Or it could be Iran denying it to limit the humiliation of not having the will to respond. The U.S labelled IRGC terrorist. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump launches an intense campaign of assassination of Iranian military and even civilian leaders.
Wahabbi or Zionist? Lot of invective against Iran.
Iran always respond… remember 2 US bases, Global Hawk, British petrol vessel captured….”the accident of the CIA bombardier plane in Afganistan”…where accord US sources only 2 crew member were onboard while witness told that 5 corpses were lying until US forces recovered them….
Then why are your leaders still raving about revenge?
Because there many options and different targets to hit…even there will be leaders who want the revenge just in the moment that Trump leave the presidency in a somekind of Gift from Iran to Trump friend ….
IF hezbollah news channel has deniand . it means all are fake news.
Tere iranian scientist ki to chatni ho gayi lol
Tere jaise namard logo ki adaat hai chupke marne ki. Tere master ko bol kabhi saamne Ake lade. waqt Ayega Jaha chupne ke jagha bhi nahi milegi tere jaise Dalal ko. HAve patince and wait for the response. Bcuz EVen US dint have guts to attack iran when they fired missile at US base and made 100s of US soldier go mad and mental illeness.
I don’t believe them. I think they are hiding their death so that there is no obligation to retaliate. We’ll know the truth in the coming weeks. But this news have circulated reliable reporting sources.
CIAMOSSADisis really pushing for a last second World war….
No body will fight a world war over you Iranians. Get real!
???
Im not Iranian. They thought the same about Austria before WWI… If Iran falls Russia and China are next, they wont allow that cost it what it will. Never start a war you cant finish and you wont be able to finish this one, we both know that…
Russia and China?
They’ll stay away …. Iran has not friends’ … hello?
Well … maybe Merkel … ROTFL
Wrong. Iran is even more important strategically than Syria. Russia and China is already arming them with state of the art tech. They have no other choice, Iran cant fall to zionazis and the U.S. Iran has good relations with many countries. Russia, China, Iraq, Syria India thats 3+billion people. U.S. and Israel are the one with no friends only vassals and slavesm
Israel won’t be standing still either sluggo
Russia/China state of the art technology?
Israel has great relations with Russia / China / India … hello?
Checkmate
Israel missile tech is good but behind that of Russia and China both in numbers and tech. Good relations till a point… Neither Russia nor China will sacrafice their national Security in favor of Israel. They didn’t sacraficed it in Syria and they certainly wont sacrafice it in Iran. Sorry to dissapoint you but thats just a fact and no ammount of kosher magic wand waving will change that. Have a nice day ?
Russian / Chinese tech are World class … top of the class
Russia / China will not go to war for Iran … Russia has oil and there’s plenty to buy elsewhere
Russia saved Syria but did NOT stop Israel’s assault on the IRGC/Shia Brigades/Hezbollah inside Syria … hello?
Iran’s vile Mullah Police State is going down …

Wishful thinking Shlomo. Like I said China and Russia are friendly to a point not beyond. They wont allow the U.S. to get into a strike position or pressure them. Bye.
Whose threatening China or Russia …. hello?
That’s MAD
The U.S/deep state., if you havent noticed.
MAD …. if you haven’t noticed
U.S. thinks it can pull it off, read Pentagon plans, look at missile deployments. Why do you think Russia developed hypersonic cruise missiles and new ICBMs and new hypersonic MIRVs, they had enough firepower but they noticed the U.S. creeping up trying to tip the status quo to their favor. Russia didnt develop these weapons only to show off, its a major deterrence, telling the U.S. dont even think about it because we can destroy you anytime we see it fit. Putin told the new Russian military doctrin, Russia wont wait till a first strike happens, if they see they U.S will attack mainland Russia or a key ally, Russia will strike with full force before it could happen. MAD only works if here is parity, Russia made sure the ballance is restored, non the less the U.S. keeps pushing its luck every day.
MAD …. Russia / China / USA are not going to war against each other
China & US are economic rivals ….
Russia is a fading power …

As nuke “power” China is officially having ridiculous 300 warheads….even if they having double of that number that is still nothing comparing to US.
So no MAD in China at all. While Russia is nuke Super Power even comparing to US. US ICBM nukes are 40+years old = totally outdated. While Russia is churning every few years new models of strategic nukes ICBM,SLBM…Yars, Sarmat, Bulava, Hyper-sonic glider and 100 megaton Status 6
Nuclear War is NOT winnable … hello?
Russia is a fading power … population demographics are destiny … eh?
MAD has worked well so far …
I expect Putin wants to live as long a life as possible … Xi as well …

Russia isn’t even protecting your Iranian forces and proxies in Syria against Israel, never mind that Russia has deployed its most advanced AA missile systems to Syria, and they are supposedly allies, fighting on the same side as Iran for Assad. If Russia refuses to shelter Iranian forces in Syria, what makes you think they’ll take a much bigger risk against America?
Officially Russia and Iran arent allies, partners maybe. Russia has no obligation to protect them in Syria. They would gain nothing doing so but risk a lot. Letting Iran be destroyed is a totally different story because that would lead to further implications which would compromize and even threat the national Security of both Russia and Iran.
Iran’s Mullah Police State is tottering … has China offered AID ?
Less of a police state than the U.S. or Israel. Yes they did.

Russia doesn’t want to risk even a conventional war with America over its puppet (Assad), where Russia has military bases. What makes you think the Russians will stick their neck out for Iran?
Russia, SAA and Iran won in Syria. That lil base with a few hundred trolls stealing oil is no real threat nor worth to start a war for. Iran is a different story.
Exactly …
Russia isn’t sticking out its neck for Assad … either any puppet will do
Russia allows the IAF to attack the IRGC/Hezbollah/Shia Brigades … eh?
Nobody is needed…. when China and Russia get involved. That would be the end of US in Middle East

Slow news day, as if in this day and age of smart phones an “unnamed senior official’s” death can remain hidden. Just more fake news and psy-ops as the clock ticks.
Oops ….
This is certainly fake news and did not get any traction in any media, however it is indicative of Zionist desperation. Israel chose to assassinate a high-level elderly semi-retired Iranian nuclear scientist with more than tacit approval from the outgoing Trump administration. Israel’s corruption indicted prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, apparently saw what was undoubtedly his last chance to attack Iran, knowing that the incoming Biden administration would have no part in such an action, since Joe Biden wishes to build bridges instead of destroying them.
A sad commentary indeed on the loser Trump and the lengths to which he will go to make it difficult for Mr. Biden to overcome the president’s hateful legacy.
Biden has been a member of AIPAC for years and will follow HRCs road map for the Levant. So if Biden, we unfortunately can expect an increase in Yankee troops and agression against Syria, Iraq, Iran and Russia. However, with Trump still sitting in the Oval Office he can bide his time until the EC votes on 14th before conceeding defeat. Then again, Expect the unexpected….

anything un-towards happening in the middle east, syria, iraq and so on are always due to the presence of the jews in palestine, directly or indirectly. just remember that that is the case and work towards a palestine free of the jews. it will be the sole reason for peace in the middle east.
Are you rubbing a rabbit’s foot …
Unnamed, and Reuters report? It is probably fake.
Think again …
Now, I really don’t have to. It is confirmed as fake. You think again, you’re sososos smart.
RT has said it appears to be fake..
