Iraqi terrorists have threatened to turn US airbases in Iraq to rubble in after an airstrike that killed Irans top general Qasem Soleimani.<\/p>\n
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia at the centre of current tensions between Washington and Tehran, made the dire warning.<\/p>\n
Hassan Nasrallah, the Lebanese secretary-general of Hezbollah, said all US bases, all warships and every single soldier in the region are now a target.<\/p>\n
He warned: The true, just retribution for those who conducted this assassination is an institution, which is the U.S. military.<\/p>\n
We will launch a battle against those killers, those criminals.<\/p>\n
Soleimani, tipped to be the country's future president, was killed as he was leaving Baghdad airport on Friday morning . <\/p>\n
He was the head of Irans elite Quds Force, which has been designated by the U.S. as a terror group since 2007.<\/p>\n
Soleimani oversaw networks of proxy forces, long been suspected of being behind actions to destabilise the Middle East.<\/p>\n
US President Donald Trump afterwards said he ordered the assassination to \"to stop a war, not to start one\".<\/p>\n
The US has since deployed 3,000 extra troops to the Middle East . <\/p>\n
On Saturday, Trump warned the US would target 52 sites important to Iran and Iranian culture and hit them very fast and very hard if it attacked US assets.<\/p>\n
The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards aerospace programme, Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said: Firing a couple of missiles, hitting a base or even killing Trump is not valuable enough to compensate for martyr Soleimani's blood.<\/p>\n
The only thing that can compensate for his blood is the complete removal of America from the region.<\/p>\n
