On Tuesday, two B-52 strategic bombers took off on a more than 30-hour round-trip mission from the United States to the Middle East to send a new warning to Iran.
In a report to Fox News, the military commander stated that Iran intends to direct (targeted attacks) against the US military and US interests in the Persian Gulf region, on the first anniversary of the assassination of the Quds Force commander, Qassem Soleimani.
He said: “We see precise planning of the attacks, especially in Iraq, which require Iranian help to implement them.”
He suggested that “the attacks may target US citizens in the Middle East, especially Iraq, and he did not rule out an attack on the US embassy in Baghdad one way or another.”
When asked to explain the types of “precise attacks” that Iran could plan, the official said: “They can be attacks with short-range ballistic missiles, winged missiles, cruise missiles or drones similar to those used in the attack on Saudi Aramco last year. “
The official added that “no offensive attacks were planned,” noting that “the United States has sent warning messages to Tehran through mediators within Iraq.”
