According to Iranian state TV, the attacks were in revenge for the killing of the commander of Iran s powerful Revolutionary Guards, General Qasem Soleimani, in a US drone strike on Friday.
Iranian state television on Wednesday said, 80 American terrorists were killed in ballistic missiles targeting at least two bases where US military and coalition forces are stationed in Iraq, adding that none of the missiles were intercepted. Revolutionary Guards sources also said, Iran had 100 other targets in the region in its sights if Washington took any retaliatory measures.
Iran has threatened to bomb Israel and Dubai if the United States retaliates for its ballistic missile strike that slammed into an Iraqi airbase where US and coalition forces are based. Iran s Revolutionary Guard in a statement carried by Iran s state-run IRNA news agency said, “We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted.â€
