Two members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards were killed on Sunday while attempting to defuse explosives in an area of the country's west hit by Israeli strikes last month, Iranian media reported. Tasnim news agency, citing a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that 'two members of the Guards were killed on Sunday in Khorramabad while clearing the area of explosives left by the Zionist regime's aggression.' A ceasefire between the two arch-foes took effect on June 24. — AFP
