The missiles had "death to America," "death to Israel" and "death to the house of Saud" written on them, according to Fars News, which also released video showing the launching of the missiles.
Iran has blamed the Ahvaz attack, which killed 29 people and wounded 70 others, on the United States and its regional ally, Saudi Arabia. It accused both countries of supporting "foreign mercenaries" behind the attack.
The strikes hit the headquarters of "takfiri terrorists," or Sunni extremists, according to the IRGC statement. The semi-official Fars News cited an unnamed Iranian commander vowing further attacks as "revenge for the people of Ahvaz."
The Al Bukamal district, which lies east of the Euphrates river, is one of ISIS' last remaining positions. US troops and US-backed Kurdish forces have been battling the group in the region.
Col. Sean Ryan, the spokesperson for the US-led coalition against ISIS, confirmed the strike but said no coalition forces "were in danger."
