Sputnik: Iranian Revolutionary Guard Confirms Daesh Chief Baghdadi is Dead
The elite Iranian Revolutionary Guard verified the death of Daesh mastermind Abu Bakr al-Bagdhadi “through multiple channels,” a representative said Thursday.
Ali Shirazi, a top Iranian cleric, told Asr-e Iran News Agency there is "no doubt" Baghdadi is deceased.
Irib, Iranian media outlet, has posted photos of Baghdadi's dead body. The man's face resembles Baghdadi extremely closely.
Reports have circulated for weeks that a Russian sortie may have eliminated al-Baghdadi during an airstrike on a suburb south of Raqqa, Syria.

WNU Editor: Reports have been circulating for a month that he was killed in a Russian air strike. Until someone has a body that they can show to the world and/or ISIS announces his death .... these reports should be treated with the scepticism that they deserve.

Journalists yet again calling the IRGC "elite" for no good reason whatever
ReplyDeleteI would call the IRGC elite if whatever enemy faced they kill some multiple of enemy soldiers for everyone of them that died.
ReplyDeleteGranted the force might not be elite across the board.
Given actual combat, their own lessons leaned and training and Russian training, they very well could be elite.
We shall see.
IRCG is not truly an Elite force, I think they are taken mixed always with Quds Elite Force:

They seem to me are elite whether we liked it or not.
They have a long record of Iran-Iraq war, the Kurdistan war and training of Hezbollah and so on.
BTW Iranian 65th Airborne Special Forces Brigade is the true Elite force that you never heard of. as I remember a friend of mine, a veteran U.S Navy SEAL was mentioning them as one of the best in the world who also had fought in Vietnam too.
"...they very well could be elite." There's no way to "know" for certain unless/until actual combat takes place.
ReplyDeleteelite is a relative term.
