Iran's Revolutionary Guards have launched attacks in Iraq's Kurdistan region and Syria, targeting an alleged Israeli "spy headquarters" and Islamic State positions. This move comes in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict that began on October 7, involving various Iranian allies in the Middle East. The Guards stated the strikes were in retaliation for Israeli actions that led to the deaths of their commanders. These incidents mark a significant escalation in regional tensions, underscoring the complex and volatile nature of Middle Eastern geopolitics.
