TEHRAN – Defense Minister Amir Hatami on Wednesday hailed a recent missile attack by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Daesh positions inside Syria, saying the terrorists will soon face Iran’s next retaliatory move, Mehr reported.

The IRGC’s timely attack came right after the Supreme National Security Council decided on Iran’s response to the terrorist attack in the city of Ahvaz, as was demanded by the nation, Leader of the Islamic Revolution and all top military officials, Hatami said.

On Monday morning, the IRGC Aerospace Force fired six mid-range ballistic missiles at the bases of Daesh in an area east of the Euphrates in Syria in retaliation for the Ahvaz terrorist attack.
