The Islamic Resistance in Iraq - an umbrella group of several Iran-backed Iraqi armed groups - on Monday claimed responsibility for the attack.
Iran is openly admitting that it used these missiles to send a message to the US and Israel and that it basically targeted northwest Syria just to show off.
Turkey has conducted military incursions and bombing campaigns in Syria against the Kurdish YPG, which it regards as a wing of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.
Nine Turkish soldiers were killed and four others were wounded in Friday's clash with the PKK in northern Iraq, the ministry said after the incident.
As she was flogged, Roya Heshmati chanted "in the name of woman, in the name of life, the clothes of slavery are torn..."
Today Iraq is trying to put some of its past behind it.
Since its founding in 2004, the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) has never attacked civilians in Iran, or anywhere else. It does not focus its offensive operations against any other government.
