TEHRAN(Basirat) : A top Iranian military commander says terrorists in Syria have sustained heavy casualties in the IRGC’s retaliatory missile attack on Sunday night.

Terrorists suffered heavy casualties in the retaliatory missile attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), says IRGC Lieutenant Commander Brigadier General Rasoul Sanaei-Rad.

"The [Iranian] missiles raining down [on terrorist positions] sends a message to terrorists that if they want to continue their wicked acts, they will receive a tough slap in the face,” he said on Sunday.

The top general suggested that terrorists would not necessarily be targeted inside Iran.

Given the kind of targets selected and the massing of Takfiri terrorists in the targeted region, said the top commander, the terrorists are likely to have suffered heavy casualties and lost a lot of logistical equipment.

In the meantime, he did not rule out the possibility of more retaliatory attacks by the IRGC.

"Carrying out more attacks by the IRGC is subject to decisions made at the Supreme National Security Council, the Command Headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, and the IRGC, and depends on the kind of situations that will unfold,” he noted.
