TEHRAN, Jan 8 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), fired “tens of surface-to-surface missiles” at the U.S. airbase in Anbar, in western Iraq, in retaliation for the killing of Iranian general, Qassem Soleimani, Press TV reported today (Wednesday).
The IRGC called for a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Arab country, and said that, it would not differentiate between the United States and Israel, in retaliation against the assassination of the Iranian general, according to the report.
