TEHRAN -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday it has struck the second US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system in the West Asia region.

In a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said it hit and destroyed the system with precision-guided missiles.

According to the statement, the IRGC on Monday destroyed the radar of a US THAAD system stationed in a military base in the United Arab Emirates.

It said the destruction of the anti-missile systems has provided its forces with greater freedom to successfully hit their targets.

On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, some of the leader's family members, top military commanders and civilians. Iran responded through several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and US bases in the region.

In another statement on Tuesday, the IRGC said it has targeted positions of the "hostile counter-revolutionary" groups based in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, which were planning to infiltrate Iranian territory and take action against the country.

In addition, Iran's army said on Tuesday the country's air defenses brought down six Israeli Hermes drones in the provinces of Isfahan, Kermanshah, East Azarbaijan, Khuzestan and Tehran over the past 24 hours.

It added since the beginning of the war, the Iranian armed forces have shot down 35 advanced drones belonging to the "aggressive enemies."

Meanwhile, the general staff of the Iranian Armed Forces on Tuesday denied in a statement any attack by Iran against Oman's territory and ports, the official news agency IRNA reported.
