A video showing missile attacks at Iraq airbases has surfaced on social media. The missile attacks come as a revenge for the US killing of Qassem Soleimani, whose death last week in an American drone strike near Baghdad prompted angry calls to avenge his slaying.
Here are the latest updates on U.S.-Iran tensions after the U.S. airstrike that killed Iran's top general Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. Iran has retaliated this morning by launching rocket strikes at US military base at Al Asad in Iraq.
While addressing the media at the Oval Office of the White House, President Donald Trump on Tuesday maintained the country is prepared for any attack by Iran and will not withdraw US troops at any cost.
Two days after Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad, the U.S. troops in Iraq to fight the Islamic State are now focused on their own defense, guarding American bases and the U.S. Embassy from an expected Iranian response.
Hossein Salami made the pledge before a crowd of thousands gathered in a central square in Kerman, the hometown of the slain Gen. Qassem Soleimani. His vow mirrored the demands of top Iranian officials — from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to others — as well as mourners across the Islamic Republic, demanding retaliation against America for a slaying that’s drastically raised tensions across the Middle East.
The Guard is a major economic and military power in Iran, answerable only to the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Eight of Iran military's elite Revolutionary Guard members were killed and 20 others were injured as gunmen attacked an annual military parade on Saturday in the country’s oil-rich southwest region of Ahvaz.
