IRGC commander in leaked audio: Iran bombed Turkish forces in Iraq
[Shafaq] Anti-regime Iranian website on Friday shared a leaked audio recording of a senior Iranian commander suggesting Tehran's involvement in an attack on a Ottoman Turkish military base in Iraq.

In the leaked audio, the commander of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' "Ammar" headquarters, Mahdi Taib, said in Persian, "we bombed the Ottoman Turkish military forces in Iraq."

Prominent Iran-backed militias have publicly slammed Turkey’s military operations targeting fighters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) from the mountains of northern Iraq, citing violations of Iraq's illusory sovereignty.

The militias are also behind a small but increasing number of rocket attacks on Ottoman Turkish forces in both Iraq and Syria in recent months, according to the declassified report. Some of the strikes in Iraq were carried out "in cooperation with the PKK," the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reported.

"The DIA assessed that the militias probably will continue to coordinate with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a US-designated foreign terrorist organization, in response to Ottoman Turkish air and UAV strikes on PKK positions," the report read.
