More Threats from Tehran : Revolutionary Guards Air Force Commander Ali Hajizadeh spoke for the first time since the Iranian attack would strike his country's military base in Iraq, claiming Thursday that his country would kill thousands of US troops if the conflict between the countries continued.

"The attack on US military bases was only a first step in our response to the elimination of the blessed Suleimani. Suleimani's blood is not worth that of American soldiers or even that of Trump. The goal is the complete expulsion of Americans from the area," said Hejazada.

"We did not plan to kill anyone in the latest attack," said Hejizadeh, who commanded the operation in which dozens of missiles were fired at US military bases in Iraq, saying "although I assume dozens were killed and wounded, if we wish we could have killed 500 American soldiers. If they choose to continue with us, we will kill between 4,000 and 5,000 American soldiers. "

"American Defense Systems Fail"

Hajizada added a sting to the great Sunni rival, Saudi Arabia, that "US defense systems have proven themselves to be a failure in our attack on Saudi Arabia."

On the next move, he said, "If the US responds to Iran then our move will not be just a slap, but an action that will change regional balance sheets. Americans should leave our area voluntarily.

The Revolutionary Guards Air Force and Space Commander even threatened that "the assassination of the Suleimani martyr would cause a tsunami to sweep all American bases out of our area." Hajizadeh concluded that despite the attacks against the Americans, these "would still not be worth the blood of Suleimani and his assassinated friends."

"The Americans transferred the dead to Israel"

While tensions between the United States and Iran are declining, after a speech in which President Trump made it clear that his country does not intend to respond militarily to the Iranian missile attack on US bases in Iraq, Iranian media continue to insist that the United States has suffered heavy casualties and is struggling to hide the fatalities.

An article in the official news agency "Tasanim" quoted Hassan Salem, a pro-Iranian faction representative in the Iraqi parliament, who claimed that the United States had transferred the wounded and killed in the Iranian missile attack to Tel Aviv, with the aim of hiding the casualties from the public eye.

"They moved everyone who was hit into the Occupied Territories where no one was asking questions," said Slam. When asked about the number of fatalities, he said: "Do you think the Americans let us into their bases and count the fatalities? The answer is no."
