イランがシリアのユーフラテス川東側に向けてミサイル発射

この関連の記事は大変注目されます。イランのミサイル攻撃能力がどの程度のものかを推測できるからです。最初の記事にあるようにミサイル8発のうち2発はすぐ落ちたというのであれば、笑いものですがそれはおそらく推進用ブースターの落下を見間違えたものでしょう。

IRGC Launches Missile Strikes on Terrorists in Syria in Revenge for Ahwaz Attack
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) fired 6 ballistic ground-to-ground missiles and launched drone attacks on terrorists' positions in Eastern Euphrates region in Eastern Syria in revenge for the September 22 Takfiri terrorist attacks in Ahwaz city which killed dozens of Iranian people.

During the operations codenamed Zarbat-e Moharram (Blow of Moharram) carried out at 2:00 AM (local time) on Monday the headquarters of Takfiri terrorists near Albu Kamal region in Eastern Euphrates was attacked from Kermanshah province in Western Iran, 570km away from the targets.

The missiles were of Zolfaqar and Qiam classes with ranges of respectively 750km and 800km. At least one of the missiles bore slogans 'Death to America', 'Death to Israel', 'Death to Al Saud' and a Quranic verse meaning 'fight against the friends of Satan'. They travelled over the Iraqi airspace and hit Eastern Euphrates region in Syria.

Also, a few minutes after the missile strikes, 7 IRGC drones targeted the terrorists' positions in the region.

According to reports, heavy damage has been inflicted on the terrorists' infrastructures and positions.

Meantime, Head of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Public Relations Department and IRGC Spokesman General Ramezan Sharif said that the terrorists who attacked people during the Armed Forces' parades in Ahwaz were affiliated to al-Ahwaziya stream which is nourished by Saudi Arabia.

The IRGC had also in June 2017 launched heavy missile strikes against the ISIL terrorists in Syria in retaliation for two terrorist attacks in Tehran which killed and wounded tens of people.

A senior ISIL commander along with at least 360 other terrorists were killed in the IRGC's missile attacks on their bases in Deir Ezzur.

Sa'ad al-Husseini, nom de guerre Abu Sa'ad, a senior Saudi commander of ISIL was killed in the airstrikes.

Also, reports confirmed at the time that the missile attacks have inflicted heavy damage on ISIL and killed at least 360 terrorists.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps launched 6 missile strikes at ISIL centers in Syria's Deir Ezzur in retaliation for the June 7, 2017, twin terrorist attacks in Tehran, the IRGC said in a statement, adding that the mid-range missiles were fired from bases in Western Iran.

"The Takfiri terrorists' command center, concentration points and logistical centers used for assembling cars for suicide attacks in Deir Ezzur region in Eastern Syria came under attack by the IRGC moments ago in a move to punish the terrorists for the twin attacks on the Iranian parliament and the holy shrine of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, on June 7," the statement issued by the IRGC Public Relations Office said.

"A number of mid-range ground-to-ground missiles fired from the IRGC Aerospace Force bases in Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces targeted the Takfiri terrorists in this operation and struck them with lethal and crushing blows," the statement said.

Iran fires ballistic missiles at Syria militants over attack
The Guard, a paramilitary group that answers directly to the supreme leader, said it followed the missiles with bombing runs by seven remotely piloted drones, a first for Iran. State TV aired footage of a drone dropping what appeared to be an unguided munition.

Boukamal is held by Syrian government forces, but IS still maintains a presence in the area, despite being driven from virtually all the territory it once held in Syria and Iraq.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told The Associated Press that the Iranian missiles hit the IS-held town of Hajin, just north of Boukamal.

Strong explosions shook the area early Monday, reverberating east of the Euphrates River, he said. U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters have been battling IS in and around Hajin for weeks.

The U.S. military’s Central Command acknowledged that Iranian forces conducted “no-notice strikes” in the area.

“The coalition is still assessing if any damage occurred, and no coalition forces were in danger,” U.S. Army Col. Sean Ryan said.

IS militants did not immediately acknowledge the attack.

The missile launch further adds to confusion over who carried out the assault on a military parade, which killed at least 24 people and wounded over 60.

Iran initially blamed Arab separatists for the attack in which gunmen disguised as soldiers opened fire on the crowd and officials watching the parade from a viewing platform. The Arab separatists, who have long complained of discrimination in Persian-majority Iran, claimed the attack and provided accurate details about one of the attackers.

The Islamic State group also claimed responsibility for the Ahvaz assault, but initially made factually incorrect claims about it. Later, IS released footage of several men that Iran ultimately identified as attackers, though the men in the footage are not known to have pledged allegiance to the extremist group.

In announcing the launch, Iranian state media said the missiles targeted both “takfiri” militants − a term it often applies to the Islamic State group − and Ahvazi separatists. The separatists have not been known to work with IS in the past.

Mohsen Rezaei, who formerly led the Guard, praised the missile strike on Twitter, adding that the “main punishment is on the way,” suggesting more attacks could be imminent.

One missile shown on Iranian state television bore the slogans “Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to Al Saud.”

The semi-official Fars news agency, believed to be close to the Guard, identified the six missiles used as Zolfaghar and Qiam variants, which have ranges of 750 kilometers (465 miles) and 800 kilometers (500 miles) respectively. Those missiles can reach Emirati and Saudi targets, as well as U.S. bases.

Regional tensions have been mounting since President Donald Trump pulled America out of Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers in May. The United Nations says Iran still honors the terms of the accord, in which it limited its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

Iran says it launched missiles into Syria targeting Ahvaz attack 'ringleaders'
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has hit the ringleaders responsible for a terrorist attack on a military parade in Ahvaz on September 22, which killed 30 people and injured over 60.

In a statement published by its own outlet Sepah, the IRGC said its Aerospace Division targeted the "headquarters of the terrorists" east of the Euphrates in Syria. The statement was accompanied by photos of surface-to-surface missiles being launched. It claims that "a large number" of the terrorists were hit.

Before the IRGC announced the attack, videos were posted on social media purporting to show the moment of the launch. Some users said there were a total of eight missiles fired, and that two of them crashed shortly after being fired.

Last month's attack on the military parade in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz killed 30 people and injured around 70. Tehran is accusing the US and its allies in the Gulf of enabling the carnage.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the US a “sponsor” of the states that provided the terrorists with material and political support, and the IRGC vowed “a crushing and devastating” response.

Washington has denied claims that it was to blame for the tragedy, instead accusing the Iranian government of poor governance and inability to protect its citizens. Rouhani shot back by saying it was like blaming 9/11 victims.

In the wake of the bloodshed, both the Al-Ahvaziya terrorist group and Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack. The IRGC said that the attack was perpetrated by “some elements of Al-Ahvaziya group,” allegedly backed by Saudi Arabia. The terrorists reportedly said that the attack was to avenge the oppression of the local Arab population by the Iranian government.

The likely target of Iran’s Sunday attack was a pocket of IS militants holed up in the eastern part of the Euphrates River Valley.

IRGC statement;
6 missiles, 7 combat drones launched at Ahvaz attack ringleaders’ HQ
TEHRAN, Oct. 01 (MNA) – The Revolutionary Guards said in a statement that six missiles and seven unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) have hit the headquarters of ringleaders behind Ahvaz terrorist attack in Syria’s eastern Euphrates early Monday.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has disclosed further details about the early morning missile and drone strikes on terrorists’ HQ in Syria’s eastern Euphrates, in response to the Ahvaz terrorist attack which killed 25 people and injured 69 others, including a four-year-old child and a disabled war veteran.

According to the statement, six medium-range ballistic missiles of Qiam and Zolfaghar class were launched from IRGC air force missile bases in western Iran at 2:00 AM on Monday, hitting the terrorists’ headquarters from a 570km distance.

The missile strikes were followed by seven combat drones bombing the positions of the terrorists affiliated to the global Arrogance.

The operation was codenamed 'Zarbat-e Muharram' (Muharram Strike).

The statement notes some received accurate reports indicating that a number of ringleaders and elements behind the recent terrorist attack in Ahvaz have been killed or injured in the airstrikes, along with their logistics centers and ammunition storage destroyed.

According to the statement, IRGC located the terrorists’ position in east of Syria after gathering evidence and intelligence on the recent terrorist attack in Ahvaz.

The statement linked the perpetrators of Ahvaz attack to US’ state terrorism in line with Israeli regime’s interests and reactionary states in the region.

The security of the Iranian nation is the red line for the armed forces, the IRGC statement concluded.
