In a statement published today, January 8, 2020, the Prime Minister’s Information Office stated that “shortly after midnight on January 8, 2020, we received an official oral message from the Islamic Republic of Iran that the Iranian response to the assassination of the martyr Qassem Soleimani has begun or will start shortly, and that the strike will be limited to the whereabouts of the American army in Iraq without specifying its location. ”
“At the same time, the American side contacted us and the missiles were falling on the wing of the American forces at Ein al-Assad bases in Anbar and Harir in Arbil and in other locations,” the statement added.
