Iran has retaliated against the U.S. for the killing of General Soleimani. They described it as “hard revenge”, and warned the U.S. not to retaliate for these strikes. If we do, they will take additional measures.<\/p>\n

Additionally, they’re calling on us, U.S. citizens, to pressure our government to remove U.S. forces out of that area. The attacks were aimed at coalition bases holding Americans. They notified the Iraqis that they were going to do these attacks and that the Iraqis should take precautions.<\/p>\n

From CNN:<\/span><\/p>\n

In a televised address to the nation Wednesday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iran gave the US “a slap in the face last night,” in reference to the attacks.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

He added that America had cast Soleimani as a “terrorist,” which was “unjust and unfair.”<\/p>\n

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, an elite wing of the Iranian military, said in a statement that the attacks on Iraqi bases were “hard revenge” for the death of Soleimani. The IRGC said any country housing US troops could be subject to “hostile and aggressive acts” and called on American citizens to demand the government remove US troops from the region.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It warned the US: “If you repeat your wickedness or take any additional movements or make additional aggression, we will respond with more painful and crushing responses.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

President Trump is awaiting battle damage assessment, then will communicate his assessment of this attack. It would be interesting to see what targets the U.S. will hit next if the damage assessment requires counterretaliation.<\/p>\n
