The US and Iran can be drawn into a long-drawn conflict after the Islamic Republic hits American bases in Iraq, says expert
In this Feb, 11, 2019 file photo, Iranian Revolutionary Guard members arrive for a ceremony celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, at the Azadi, or Freedom, Square, in Tehran, Iran. US President Donald Trump has designated the IRGC as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
The US forces were already on high alert after the killing of top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani last week in Iraq. The US officials say Trump has been briefed about the situation and he’s expected to make a statement in the next couple of hours. “There’s definitely a very strong domestic component to this. Qasem Soleimani was too big for them not to react. And Iranians are rallying to the flag because of his killing and so they need to show that they are doing something.”
