Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Abbas Araqchi says “hostile” remarks made by Donald Trump, the president of the United States, clearly amount to war crime according to international law.

Iran’s Army chief has dismissed US President Donald Trump's threat to hit scores of Iranian sites, saying the Americans lack the "courage" to make good on such a spurious promise.

The assassination on Iraqi soil of Iran’s Qassem Soleimani will produce many things, and global resentment and hatred for Washington is undoubtedly already one of them.

Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said the IRGC will initiate action to avenge the assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani upon receiving the order.

The Iranian embassy in Moscow strongly condemned the terror attack on IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani which was directly ordered by US President Donald Trump, stressing that the world will be a safer and more secure place without the United States' criminal rulers.

Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Commander Major General Hossein Salami said Iran's reprisal for the US Friday terror attack on IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani will include strategic operations to be carried out in a vast theater with determining outcomes and throughout time.

Head of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mojtaba Zonnouri underlined that the US bases and forces in the region will no more be safe after Washington's assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

Spokesman of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said Washington took an "irreversible" step by assassinating Commander of the IRGC Qods Force Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and should wait for a harsh revenge.
