IRAQ (Al-Mayadeen) — Continuous clashes between police forces and angry protesters at the entrance to the Green Zone in Baghdad

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei to Al-Mayadeen:

Martyr Khamenei was not merely an ordinary leader or authority, and the enemy has committed an international crime. The assassination of this great leader represents a religious war, and the region may witness many religious hostilities. The popular demonstrations in many countries are a result of the assassination of Supreme Leader Khamenei. The Iranian regime does not depend on one person, contrary to what the enemies have been promoting, and this regime put an end to the previous dictatorship. For 37 years, all that Leader Khamenei has done is defend the cause of Palestine, the Iranian people, and the peoples of the region. Sayyed Khamenei defended the cause of Palestine, and our Sunni brothers should recognize this. He did not defend only the Shiites. Many know how much Iran values and respects the countries of the region and the Gulf states. These are friendly countries, and we work to maintain good neighborly relations. Iran launches missiles at bases in Arab countries. This is not against those countries, but rather in self-defense and against enemy bases. All efforts by Iranian forces are aimed at striking any assets used by enemies against Iran, some of which include civilian and residential facilities belonging to enemy forces. We must take into account that a meeting between Iran and the Americans was supposed to take place in Vienna, but two days ago, the aggression took place. We were negotiating again, but the other side did not want to negotiate. It was just an excuse to attack Iran. This is not Iran's war, but a war against Iran. This war is a fateful war for West Asia and the entire Middle East. We are now working with all our might to defend our country, our people, our innocent children, our daughters, and our sovereignty. Our region is currently facing chaos, and the countries in the region must demand that those who have attacked us restore stability. Lessons learned from confronting terrorism, the 12-day war, and our current defense are not only for Iran, but for the entire region. Iran is working to mobilize all its capabilities to defend its sovereignty, and our forces will determine which capabilities to use and which targets to strike. There have been many courageous steps taken by our forces, while the Zionist enemy has succeeded in dragging the Americans into war. Our targeting of US bases in several countries is not aimed against these countries. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency has taken many politically motivated positions and has tried to work towards that end. There is a meeting of the Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna tomorrow, Monday, and I hope that the Agency's positions will be balanced. Every country that considers international security and peace important must condemn the aggression against Iran. I say to the Muslim and Arab peoples that you have witnessed the aggression, we consider you friendly countries to us, and if it weren't for the enemies, everyone would live in peace. We have no problem with the peoples or countries of the region.

Bloomberg: Although the United States has relocated personnel and equipment from bases located within the range of Iran's missiles, the damage to the facilities themselves appears to be extremely significant.

IRGC:

The seventh and eighth waves of Operation True Promise 4 took place before noon today toward American-zionist targets with continuous missile fire and extensive drone launches. The American Ali Al-Salem naval base in Kuwait has been completely put out of service following the recent attacks, and 3 maritime infrastructure structures of the American Mohammed Al-Ahmad base in Kuwait were also destroyed. The American naval base in Mina (Port) Salman, Bahrain, was hit by 4 drones, causing severe damage to its command and support centers. In the continuation of the attacks against the naval targets of the hostile enemy, three violating tankers belonging to America and Britain in the Arabian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz were hit by missiles and are currently on fire. The location of American soldiers in Bahrain was targeted with two ballistic missiles, and other American bases in the region were subjected to continuous attacks, which have resulted in the killing and wounding of 560 American soldiers up to this moment. Given the continuous sound of ambulance sirens in the American and zionist bases, as well as field reports and intelligence monitoring, we are witnessing a psychological crisis among American soldiers and zionist settlers, and certainly, with the increase of targeted pressure from the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the situation will become even tighter for them.
