Iran Revolutionary Guard denies any losses in Syria strikes attributed to Israel
An Iranian Revolutionary Guards official denies that recent Israeli strikes on eastern Syria led to any deaths, the Fars news agency reports.
“This attack caused no human losses,” Ahad Karimkhani, deputy political head of the Guards’ foreign operations arm, the Quds Force, is quoted as saying.
The “attacks that (Israeli forces) carry out under different pretexts are blind and with no strategic goals,” Karimkhani says.
He vows that attacks on “resistance axis positions in Syria will certainly face a serious and severe response.”
