Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched six Zolfaghar ballistic missiles at Deir el-Zour in eastern Syria. The missiles targeted an ISIS command center and suicide car bomb operation, according to the IRGC. The IRGC stated that the strike was a response to ISIS attacks on Tehran earlier in June and a message to Saudi Arabia and the United States. When it was unveiled in September 2016, the Zolfaghar was described as having a 700 km range and carrying a cluster warhead.
