Sounds to me like open, and illegitimate, attacks on Iranian special forces. Why the SOF are doing it is pretty obvious: to avoid an international scandal.

all manner of things can be part of a 'war', many of them have nothing whatsoever to do with killing.
the wording is staggeringly imprecise, it doesn't differentiate between, 'Hot-Pursuit', massed AirLand attacks and navigational errors. all of which have a significant impact on what is actually happening.
22SAS went into the RoI quite a bit during their war with PIRA/INLA/CIRA/RIRA, but usually because they got lost, they also ate significant quantities of fried egg sandwiches, watched some dodgy porn, farted, scratched their arses and wrote off a great may cars. so masterbation, bad cooking, worse driving and bad personal hygene were all 'part of the war' againts PIRA/I can't believe its not the Real IRA, however i've yet to see any evidence that 22SAS attempted to either poison the IRA (s) through their God-awful cooking, mow them down in dodgy traffic accidents or drown them in errant semen.
