According to a report published Wednesday by the Iranian newspaper Hamshahri, four military advisers affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were killed during overnight airstrikes in Iraq. The report attributes the strikes to a joint US-Saudi operation.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation of these deaths from the Iranian government or military leadership. Furthermore, there has been no independent verification or official statement from the United States or Saudi Arabian governments regarding the alleged joint strike. Because the information currently relies on a single report from an Iranian outlet, details regarding the specific location of the strikes, the identities of the individuals, and the strategic objective of the operation remain unverified. The situation remains developing as international observers wait for official responses from the involved nations.
