Iran has launched another round of attacks on Kurdish groups in northern Iraq in connection with ongoing anti-government protests inside the Islamic Republic. This as Iran's own neighboring Kurdistan region has continued to be a hotbed of the now two-month long "anti-hijab" protests sparked by the death in police custody of a 22-year old Iranian Kurdish woman from Saqqez.
Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced early Monday that it struck three areas of the northern Iraqi Kurdish region with drones and missiles the day prior, causing "heavy damage" on the camps. Tehran has said that "terrorist groups".

Tehran has meanwhile been demanding that Baghdad take concrete action to disarm the outlawed Kurdish militia groups while holding open the possibility of more cross-border strikes.
A Monday Iranian foreign ministry statement said its military had no choice to act to "protect its borders and security of its citizens based on its legal rights."
Poster Comment:
Iran was probably upgraded to the S-400. They definitely were given the blueprints to make the Mach 12 Kinzhal missile. It can hit a target with a 8,800 pound Kinetic Force due to its speed, mass and warhead. It can dig a 98 foot hole. One missile can take out an aircraft carrier.
Iran has been elevated to a Russian strategic partner status and can strike with impunity though it might take a few months turn out some missiles.
