The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani stated that Iran creates its own power on the ground and through diplomacy, as it invests them to defend its interests and national security in an intelligent fashion.

In a tweet, Shamkhani noted that the experiences of the Iranian people for over 40 years have taught them that relying on the East and the West does not ensure their security or their rights.

Shamkhani's comments come after Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps announced today that it targeted a "strategic center for Zionist plots" in northern Iraq with missiles, using "powerful and accurate missiles."

And on Saturday night, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Baghdad reported that several missiles fell in the vicinity of the US Harir base near Erbil Airport, the capital of the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Reliable sources revealed to Al Mayadeen that "four Israeli officers were killed, in addition to seven wounded, four of whom are in a critical condition," explaining that "the same headquarters was responsible for an intelligence and aggressive operation against Iran in recent times."

They indicated that on February 14, six Israeli drones were launched from the heart of Iraqi Kurdistan and targeted a camp in Iranian Kermanshah, adding that "as a result of Israeli aggression, Iran bore significant losses."
