US President Donald [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] threatened to impose unprecedented sanctions on Baghdad, adding that if his forces leave, Baghdad will have to pay Washington the cost of an air base there.
This comes in response to the decision of the pro-terrorist Iraqi parliament to end the foreign military presence in the country.
"We have an air base there that is exceptionally expensive. It took billions of dollars to build it long before I came," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One "back to Washington after a two-week vacation." ".
"If [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] demands the departure of our forces and this is not done on a friendly basis, we will impose sanctions on them that they have never seen before. Iran's sanctions will be a small thing next to them," he said.
The US President also promised Tehran "great revenge" if it launched an attack on US facilities in the Middle East.
"If they do anything, there will be great revenge," he said, threatening again to hit Iranian cultural sites, asking, "They have the right to kill our citizens (...) and we have no right to harm their cultural sites?"
On the other hand, 3 Katyusha rockets landed in Baghdad, according to what the Iraqi army confirmed, after [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] threat to hit Iranian cultural sites, hours after the deadline set by a pro-Iranian faction of American forces expired.
And US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced earlier that "any future US military action against Iran will be within the framework of international law, while the Kuwaiti Chief of Staff denied using its military bases to carry out an attack on a neighboring country."
"We will act within the framework of the law. America will respond with legitimate strikes against the actual decision-makers who manage to hit the American targets," Pompeo said in an interview with the American channel ABC.
On the US air strike that killed Soleimani, he said, "Intelligence estimates have shown that the failure and allowing Soleimani to continue his planning and planning of his terrorist campaign represents a greater threat than the one we took last week."
"The world is safer today," he added, adding, "The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] administration will continue to keep Congress informed of developments in the Middle East." After the Iraqi parliament voted to end the presence of foreign forces in Iraq, Pompeo said his country was "looking to continue its work in Iraq despite the parliament's decision."
In a statement on social media, the American President advised "the Iranians not to attack America, because they will be hit more aggressively than any previous strike," noting that "America spent two trillion dollars on military equipment and has the best army in the world."
Trump warned that the United States has identified 52 locations in Iran that would strike them "very quickly and with great force" if Tehran attacked American targets or individuals.
In a tweet in which he defended the strike in which the Quds Force Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, was killed in Baghdad, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] said, "The number 52 represents the number of Americans who have been held hostage at the American embassy in Tehran for more than a year in late 1979."
