US forces and allies will soon be forced out of the Persian Gulf waters, where they have been seeking to establish a foothold for years, says Iran’s navy commander.

Iran's Judiciary Spokesman Gholamhossein Esmayeeli said that his country will file a lawsuit against the US at international courts over the targeted assassination of Commander of IRGC Qods Force Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said that the Americans who are afraid of the scale of Iran's response to the assassination of the IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani have resorted to diplomacy.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the United States is accountable for any consequences of its act of terror against Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), stressing that Washington will pay a heavy price for its recent terrorist move.

The Jewish Community of Shiraz in Southern Iran in a message on Saturday blasted the US for the assassination of the anti-terrorism commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Qods Force, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, and said that Washington’s terrorist act once again proved that regime’s brutality and villain nature.

A senior commander in the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said Tehran will be "patient" in setting the right “time and place” for its response against Washington’s assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani.

All US attempts to isolate Iran by abrogating the nuclear deal "and imposing stringent, unwarranted and illegal economic sanctions on Iran have failed dismally," and the attempt to destabilize the Islamic Republic "internally have also recently been met with defeat," according to Dennis Etler, an American political analyst who has a decades-long interest in international affairs.

Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations says the United States’ recent assassination of the Islamic Republic's senior commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani is tantamount to waging a war on the Iranian nation.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says by staging "the cowardly act of state terrorism” that led to senior Iranian commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani’s martyrdom, the United States practically paved the way for its own "elimination" from the region.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has visited the home of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), who was assassinated in a US airstrike in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
