Brigadier General Ali Balali, the Chief Adviser to Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has disclosed this.
He disclosed this on Thursday 20th, 2020. He claimed the killing was a retaliation to the attack on the Ain Al- Assad military base in Iraq.
General Balali said that the US had committed a “grave mistake” for killing General Qassem Soleimani.
He therefore added that Iran would expel American forces from the region.
Iran has launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles on two military bases in Iraq. One of the affected bases was Ain Al – Assad, with about 1500 US soldiers.
However, United States maintained that none of its troops were killed in the attack, but over 100 suffered brain injuries.
