Tasnim� A Syrian lawmaker hailed a recent missile attack the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps carried out against the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group inside Syria as a right decision at the right time, saying the strike attested to Tehran-Damascus cooperation in the war on terrorism.

�I believe that the move (IRGC missile raid) was a correct and necessary step and also a decisive response at an appropriate time,� member of the Syrian Parliament Rabie Kalajie told Tasnim.

He also hailed the strike as a testimony to continued military coordination among Iran, Syria, and other members of the axis of resistance in the fight against terrorism.

The attack not only demonstrated Iran�s great military and missile capabilities, but also sent a message of warning to the Zionist enemy, the US, and the Persian Gulf littoral states, the parliamentarian added.

Highlighting the difference between Iran�s genuine actions and the US false military coalition, Kalajie said the so-called US-led coalition has never launched a direct attack against Daesh and has only helped the survival of the terrorist group.

On June 18, the IRGC fired six mid-range missile from its bases in Iran�s western provinces of Kermanshah and Kurdistan at the positions of terrorists in Deir ez-Zor.

The raid was made in retaliation for a recent terrorist attack in Tehran claimed by Daesh.

In a statement on Wednesday, the IRGC Public Relations Department said more than 170 Daesh terrorists, including several ringleaders, were killed in the missile raid.
