Iran said it fired missiles on Monday at Daesh militants in Syria it blames for an attack on its soil on September 22 and said the action shows the government's readiness to punish the "wickedness" of its enemies. In Monday's statement, the Guard said that based on evidence from the Ahvaz attack, the "terrorists" in eastern Syria are supported and guided by the United States in line with "satanic" plans of the White House, the Zionist regime — Iranian parlance for Israel — and a regional power, a reference to Saudi Arabia.
