Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday that funerals were held for three soldiers killed in a US attack on a barracks in Iranshahr, in the country’s southeast.
On Friday, the Guardsmen announced they had attacked the al-Tanf base, which the Syrian army took control of after the United States withdrew in February.
A Syrian military source later denied to AFP that any attack had taken place. Al-Tanf Base is located near Syria’s southeastern borders with Jordan and Iraq.
