Iran-US Relations

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says its recent missile attack on a US base in Iraq was not aimed at killing American troops but sought to damage the US war machine.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has strongly condemned the comments from Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in justification of the American assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.

Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the US' "corruption-spreading" presence in the region must end, and that is what regional countries want.

The Trump administration’s strategic miscalculation in assassinating Iranian General Qassem Soleimani has institutionalized anti-American sentiment in Iran’s domestic politics and among the Iranian public. This has given Iran’s government the upper hand in confronting U.S. strategic goals in the greater Middle East region, consequently challenging America’s global position.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif describes the US' assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani as a strategic mistake which would result in the end of US presence in the region.

Iranian MPs on Tuesday voted for a triple-urgency motion, dubbed the Harsh Revenge Motion, which designates Pentagon and those involved in the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani as terrorists and adds them to the list of Iran’s sanctions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the country still calls on regional states to join hands and promote peace, despite its promise to take revenge from the US for assassinating senior commander General Qassem Soleimani.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has brushed aside the threat from his American counterpart that the US would hit 52 Iranian sites if Tehran takes action in retaliation for the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani.

Iranian Government Spokesman Ali Rabiei has lashed out at the "undemocratic" move by Instagram to remove the posts shared about Iranian senior commander General Qassem Soleimani, who was recently assassinated in a US airstrike in Iraq.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has called on US President Donald Trump to stop listening to the “clowns” advising him on the region.

IRGC Aerospace Commander Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh says revenge for General Qassem Soleimani's assassination will not be completed unless all US forces leave the region.

A member of the national security and foreign policy commission in the Iranian Parliament says a double-urgency motion has been prepared to declare the US military forces throughout the world as “terrorist.”

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani says the US assassination of General Qassem Soleimani was tantamount to the military coup orchestrated by the US and the UK back in 1953, which overthrew the democratically-elected government of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh.

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force says the American aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf are no more deemed to be threats against Iran, and have turned into easy targets for the Iranian missiles instead.
