On 18 June 2017, under Operation Night of Power (Persian: عملیات شب قدر, romanized: Amaliat shab-e-qadar), Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired six Zolfaghar surface-to-surface mid-range ballistic missile from domestic bases targeting ISIL forces in the Syrian Deir ez-Zor Governorate in response to the terrorist attacks in Tehran earlier that month.

Israeli, Iranian, and independent sources sharply disagree about the efficacy and results of the strike, including the accuracy and reliability of the missiles used.
