Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denies that any of its members were killed in the pager attack that targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon.
“Some media reporting that members of the Revolutionary Guards were martyred in the terrorist attack with pagers in Lebanon is false,” an IRGC spokesman tells Iran’s Mizan news agency, which is affiliated to the judiciary.
The denial comes after a report from Saudi Arabian outlet Al-Hadath said that the attacks also killed 19 IRGC members in Syria.
According to that report, the deaths occurred in the Deir Ezzor region in eastern Syria and a further 150 IRGC members were injured.
