Unconfirmed information underscored that a meeting was supposed to take place in the building targeted by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps in Erbil according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siyavash Fallahpour.

According to our correspondent, the meeting was supposed to bring together officers from the Israeli Mossad and some leaders of separatist factions in Iran that provide security services to "Israel" and countries hostile to Iran. These meetings served to plan for ways to undermine Iranian security, both internally, and in a broader sense, Iran's regional role.

According to this information, the IRGC's operation in Erbil targeted the building in which people wanted by the Iranian intelligence were brought together.

Our correspondent confirmed that the Iraqi Foreign Ministry spoke about the killing of a prominent Kurdish-Israeli businessman named Peshraw Dizayee, the owner of Falcon Security Services company.

According to our correspondent, Dizayee played a significant role in facilitating commercial relations, especially in the oil sector, between "Israel" and some entities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. In short, Peshraw Dizayee, according to our correspondent, was considered one of the targets of the strategic operation carried out by Iran in Erbil.

Fars confirmed that the targeted Mossad headquarters in Erbil was camouflaged as a residential villa, located 15 kilometers away from the city and not in a residential area. It is the third fortified headquarters in the region in terms of architectural strength, designed with two layers of cement, and equipped with radars and espionnage devices.

Furthermore, the report highlighted that the missile strike resulted in the elimination of four high-ranking Mossad officials, adding that the Iranian missile strike on Idlib led to the elimination of several ISIS leaders.

Significantly, it is worth noting that two US officials told Reuters that the missile strikes in Iraq did not affect any US facilities and there were no US casualties.

Retaliation

Senior Islamic Revolution Guard Corps commander Seyyed Razi Mousavi was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on Syria's Damascus on December, 25, 2023.

Seyyed Mousavi was one of the oldest IRGC commanders in Syria and he was close to the commander of the IRGC's elite Quds Force, martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani. 

The Iranian commander was martyred after the Israeli occupation launched three missiles at his location in the suburbs of the Syrian capital of Damascus.

Following Mousavi's assassination, and on the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, 93 people were killed in an explosion in the Iranian city of Kerman as Iranians flooded the streets marching toward Soleimani's gravesite. 

ISIS later assumed responsibility for the terror bombings.
