BAGHDAD – Factions linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are widely thought to have been behind incidents involving missiles and armed drones 24 hours apart from each other at facilities hosting forces from the US-led international coalition on both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border.
The attacks, which happened in the early morning hours of Thursday and Friday, have come as the US discusses delisting the IRGC as a terrorist organization, in response to reported demands by Iran as part of talks on its nuclear program.
