At the stroke of midnight on Monday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a barrage of missiles at an espionage center of the Israeli spy agency Mossad in Iraqi Kurdistan, destroying it completely.

Among those killed in the operation was Peshraw Majid Agha Dizayee, a Kurdish multi-millionaire oil tycoon who shared close ties with Mossad and made a fortune from illegal export of Iraqi oil to the Tel Aviv regime.

The presence of Dizayee and his accomplices at the spying complex in Erbil suggested that a meeting of great importance was underway at the time of the attack, according to an informed security source.

The building that was destroyed in the IRGC missile strike, he said, "was owned by him and regularly hosted meetings" between him and Mossad officials, and was the place where many terrorist and sabotage attacks were planned against Iran.
