In March, the IRGC fired missiles at a site in Erbil, Iraq which they said was used by the Mossad. The attack was reportedly in retaliation for an Israeli strike on an IRGC drone base in Mahidasht, Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian military operatives who lead attacks against Israel have a way of ending up dead on the streets of Tehran.
