Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has struck US and Israeli-backed “counter-revolutionary terrorist groups” operating in northern Iraq, according to Al Jazeera.

The groups were attempting “to smuggle a large consignment of sealed American weapons and ammunition into the country and were struck in Kurdistan Province”, the IRGC’s Hamzeh Sayyed al-Shuhada Command said in a statement shared by Iran’s Fars News Agency.

The command added that “a large quantity of arms and ammunition” was discovered and seized.
