IRAN’S revolutionary guard unleashed a wave of drone strikes and artillery today, targeting what Tehran says are Iranian Kurdish separatist bases in northern Iraq.
The attacks, reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, were the second such cross-border assault in a few days, at a time when Iran is convulsing with protests over the death of a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman in the custody of the Islamic republic’s morality police.
On Saturday, the revolutionary guard said that it had targeted Kurdish separatist groups’ bases and training camps in northern Iraq, claiming to have inflicted serious damage.
MOHAMMAD OMIDVAR, a senior figure in the Tudeh Party of Iran, tells the Morning Star that mass protests are rooted in poverty, corruption and neoliberal rule and warns against monarchist revival and US-engineered regime change
