Ayatollah Khomenei tweeted hours after the retaliatory strike on U.S.-led forces in Iraq: 'They were slapped last night, but such military actions are not enough.'
... [+]: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, has hinted at further attacks hours after retaliatory missile attacks on U.S.-led forces in Iraq on Wednesday, following the death of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in an American drone strike.
It comes after Iran fired more than 12 ballistic missiles at Iraq’s al-Asad air base and in Erbil on Wednesday, where U.S., British and European troops are based. The attack took place at 1:30am Iraq time. Iran had vowed to retaliate for Soleimani’s killing on January 3, which was ordered by Trump. New EU commission president Ursula von de Leyen also called for de-escalation and tweeted: “The use of weapons must stop NOW to give space for dialogue. We are called upon to do everything possible to rekindle talks. There cannot be enough of that.”
Some 5,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Iraq, while 400 British troops also remain in the country to assist efforts to defeat the Islamic State.: Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, is expected to give a statement on Wednesday, as will U.S. President Donald Trump.
