Supreme leader serves notice to Iran's enemies: Era of ‘hit and run’ is over
Iranian sources deny that any of its fighters were killed in a missile strike against Syrian bases, while the supreme leader took the opportunity to strike out at the US presence in the region.
After airstrikes against military bases in Syria on April 30, Iranian sources denied that any of its soldiers were killed in the attack. There is no evidence that the United States is involved, but the attack has further highlighted the tense relations between the two countries.
Two conservative media outlets, Fars News Agency and the Tasnim News Agency, both believed to be linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that an “informed source” rebutted the stories that ran in the Western media that Iranian military advisers were killed in the attack. The New York Times reported that at least 16 people died in the attack on bases used by Iranians and allied groups.
