RNA – In a statement on Wednesday morning, Major General Mohammad-Hoseyn Baqeri ‎said the missile attacks by the IRGC Aerospace Force in the early hours of Wednesday ‎against the United States military bases in Iraq gave a warning to the “terrorist American ‎regime’s” authorities.‎

He said the attacks on the American forces in Iraq revealed only a tiny part of the ‎capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces and was carried out in response to the American ‎terrorist move to assassinate General Soleymani.‎

‎“From now on, any new evil act by the United States will face a stronger and more crushing ‎response with a broader range,” the senior Iranian general added.‎

‎“The time has come for the evil authorities of the United States to realize the Islamic ‎Republic of Iran’s capabilities in a greater extent of global geography, adopt a principled ‎approach, and pull the forces of their terrorist army out of the region as soon as possible,” ‎Baqeri underlined.‎

According to Tasnim News Agency, in the early hours of Wednesday, the IRGC targeted two American airbases in Iraq, including ‎the American airbase of Ayn al-Asad in Anbar province in western Iraq, in retaliation for the ‎United States’ assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander, General Soleymani.‎
