Iran says 80 'American terrorists' killed in missile strikes on US targets in Iraq

Iranian state television on Wednesday claimed that at least 80 ‘American terrorists’ were killed after Tehran launched 15 missiles on US targets in Iraq.

The state media also added that none of the missiles were intercepted, reported Al Jazeera. Adding that US helicopters and military equipment were ‘severely damaged’, the media outlet, citing a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) source, said that Iran had 100 other targets in the region in its sight if the United States took any retaliatory measures.

Iran threatens to attack Dubai, Haifa if country is bombed

Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that it will launch attacks on cities of Dubai in the UAE and Haifa in Israel if the Iranian soil is bombed in the future.

In its Telegram channel, the IRGC said that the two cities will be targetted in the third wave of operations if Iran was bombed, CNN reported. The warning came hours after Iran launched a series of attacks on US targets in Iraq including the targetting of two bases at Al-Asad and Erbil with over a dozen ballistic missiles amid rising tensions following the killing of senior Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in a US airstrike last week.

The missile attacks came in retaliation to the killing of Soleimani, who was laid to rest in his hometown of Kerman.
