Americans Will Receive A Blow Equal To What They Inflicted – Iran’s Supreme Leader Says

Owing to the killing of the commander of Iran’s Quds Force, General Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. drone striker, the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s military adviser said Sunday that Tehran will target “military sites” and make sure the Americans receive a blow that is equal to what they have inflicted on them.

The response for sure will be military and against military sites,” Hossein Dehghan, a former Iranian defense minister, told CNN.

Dehghan also said that Iran “will not be seeking war” after the killing of Soleimani.

“It was America that has started the war. Therefore, they should accept appropriate reactions to their actions. The only thing that can end this period of war is for the Americans to receive a blow that is equal to the blow they have inflicted,” he told the network. “Afterward they should not seek a new cycle.”
