Tehran 06January_US President Donald Trump has vowed to launch sanctions on Iraq after the parliament votes to ban the American forces’ presence in the country.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Sunday, the American commander-in-chief’s comments came as tensions were spiraling between Tehran and Washington over the US assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
Trump further defended his earlier remarks about striking Iran’s cultural sites, falsely accusing Tehran of terrorism.
They're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people and we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn't work that way," he said.
This is while targeting cultural sites with military action is considered a war crime under the international law, a point previously brought up by Iranian officials.
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build, long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it," he said.
