Iran: Troops crossed Iraq border to kill kurdish terrorists
Iranian forces crossed into neighbouring Iraq and killed 30 fighters from a group Tehran said was involved in last week’s bombing of a military parade, state TV reported.
General Abdolrasoul Mahmoudabadi of the elite Revolutionary Guards told the TV that the “terrorists” were killed in a clash on Saturday “beyond the border” and that his forces were still in pursuit of two men who escaped the ambush.
While Iran has said in the past it would target armed groups on Iraqi soil, this is a rare case of it actually admitting to an attack.
