A Reuters report says Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) established elite attack cells in Iraq during the recent war that struck Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE from southern Iraq, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The cells were reportedly under direct command of Tehran and separate from the known militia network, enabling the IRGC to expand its military influence in Iraq without exposure.
A new Reuters report, relayed by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), alleges that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) set up elite attack cells in Iraq during the recent war that carried out strikes from southern Iraq against Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The report says the cells were under direct command from Tehran and separate from the established network of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias, a structure that allowed Iran to operate covertly. The reporting frames this as an expansion of Iranian military influence in Iraq at a time when some pro-Iranian militias are reportedly disarming.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (09:30), a single unverified report had indicated the IRGC was setting up covert cells in Iraq to attack Gulf states. The current Reuters report, shared by a recognized journalist, provides on-record attribution and operational specifics, elevating the confidence of the claim though it remains a single-source report pending independent corroboration.
