‘Act Of International Terrorism’: Iran Vows ‘Vigorous Revenge’ On US After Quds Force Chief Killed In American Airstrike

The killing of the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force is expected to have major repercussions for the Middle East region

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has denounced a series of US airstrikes that killed the chief of the elite Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, as “international terrorism,” warning the US of consequences for its “rogue adventurism.”

In a statement on Soleimani’s death, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that “revenge awaits the criminals who have stained their hands in his blood.” 

He promised that the airstrike will only “double” Tehran’s resistance against rivals in the region.
