   terrorist group Kurdistan Freedom Party, published on Friday, January 19,
   2023. (*Press TV*)

The strike launched by Iran's IRGC on Monday night targeting one of the
main headquarters of the Israeli Mossad in Kurdistan, Iraq, targeted one of
Erbil's main men with the Mossad, an oil tycoon, according to Press TV,
which published photos showing the Iraqi businessman's connections with the
Mossad.

In a statement on Monday, the IRGC said the attack came in response to
"the terrorist
crimes

recently committed by Iran’s enemies."

The operation led to the killing Peshraw Majid Agha Dizayee
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/four-mossad-officials--peshraw-dizayee-among-killed-in-erbil>,
of Kurdish businessman affiliated with Mossad, reports said. He was the
owner of Falcon Security Services company, which had operations in
security, oil, gas, construction, and agriculture, Kurdish media reported.

Iran's *Press TV* broadcaster published Friday what it said are exclusive
photographs of the Kurdish investor, which establish his relations and
connections with Mossad as a vital asset to the Israeli spy agency's
operations in Kurdistan, mainly against Iran.

*Al Mayadeen* had reported earlier this month that three Israeli military
intelligence
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/drone-strikes-israeli-spy-hq-in-erbil--kills-3-officers--isr>
officers were killed in a drone strike targeting their headquarters in
Iraqi Kurdistan's Erbil on December 31, 2023.

The news was later confirmed by the *Jerusalem Times* Israeli news site,
which added that the strike targeted the center of operations of the
Israeli 8200 Intelligence Corps unit, which is tasked with conducting
surveillance and information-gathering missions.

Also, on the day of the strike, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced
carrying out four operations against several targets in response to the
ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, one of which targeted a US military base
near Erbil's airport.

significant role in facilitating commercial relations, especially in the
oil sector, between "Israel" and some entities in the Kurdistan region of
Iraq.
