Iran: 3 Revolutionary Guard fighters killed by Daesh
2018-01-29
[AA.TR] Three Revolutionary Guard fighters were killed in festivities with alleged ISIS turbans in the western region of Iran on Saturday, according to Iranian media reports.

Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that the Brigadier-General and Commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Pakpour said that festivities with 21 ISIS members started in the morning hours close to the western city of Najaf.
Najaf is in Iraq not Iran, or does Iran now claim Najaf?
We know that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have been wandering round Iraq for years. So while they have not officially claimed the capitol of Najaf Province...
Pakpour, who did not say where the clash took place exactly stated that three of the Revolutionary Guard fighters were killed.

The Commander said that they had been following the turbans for several days.

Pakpour said that 16 ISIS members were jugged

, two bravely ran away and the other bad boyz were potted.

#3  Does this mean if the shooting is in Najaf Tarakomeh that ISIS gunnies are running about in Iran?
If so, that is quite interesting.

#1  najaf, Iraq is in a Shiite part of Iraq but it is over 100 miles from the Iran border

najaf, Iran is near the northern (not western) border of Iran in eastern Iran

there is also a najaf tarakomeh in the northwest of Iran
