Iran Says Senior Revolutionary Guard Commander Killed in "Israeli Attack" in Iraq
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Iran Desk - Abu Alfazl Sarabian, a senior Iranian commander in the Revolutionary Guards' Al Qods Brigade, was killed in Iraq in an attack by "Israel and the United States" on July 19, 2019, Iranian media reported. Iraqi sources said Sarabian was killed in an explosion in a storage area for solid fuel for missiles. Asharq al-Awsat reported that the "attack was carried out by an Israeli F-35 fighter jet." The attack appears to be another stage in the campaign Israel is conducting against Iranian presence in Syria. Iran is attempting to find alternative storage sites - perhaps in Iraq - for the missiles it transfers to Syria in light of the repeated attacks on its Syrian depots. Now, according to foreign reports, even the infrastructure Iran is attempting to establish in Iraq is vulnerable.
