TEHRAN, Jan 9 (NNN-TASNIM) – Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, warned, any new offensive by the U.S. will draw Iran’s “stronger, more crushing, and broader” response.
The remarks by Major General Hossein Baqeri come, hours after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted two U.S. military bases in Iraq, in retaliation to the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.
In a statement, Baqeri said, the missile attacks by the IRGC on Wednesday, against the U.S. military bases in Iraq, gave a warning to the U.S.’ authorities.
He said, the attacks revealed only a small part of the capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces.
“From now on, any new evil act by the U.S. will face a stronger and more crushing response, with a broader range,” he added.
“The time has come for the evil authorities of the U.S. to realise the Islamic Republic’s capabilities and pull the forces of their terrorist army out of the region as soon as possible,” Baqeri was quoted as saying.
