The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps [IRGC] Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said that taking revenge from US heinous action in assassination of former IRGC Quds Force Commander Martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani is ‘certain’.

Brigadier General Hajizadeh made the remarks on Monday during a meeting with visiting Iraqi Defense Minister Juma Inad Sadoon, Iraqi Air Force Commander, Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces Major General Maan Zaid Ibrahim al-Saadi and Iraqi Army Air Force Commander Major General Samir Zaki Hussein.

While attending IRGC Aerospace Force National Technology Park, the Iraqi military delegation visited the permanent exhibition of the latest achievements and strategic capabilities of the IRGC Aerospace Force. 

These achievements, which have been obtained in the fields of drones, missiles, defense, flight, radar, and space, are the product of unflinching efforts of talented youth and elites of the country, Hajizadeh emphasized.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the significance of developing and expanding defense cooperation and exchange of experiences between the two countries and stressed the need to pay attention to the malicious strategies and conspiracies orchestrated by enemies of the Islamic nation especially the terrorist regime of the United States for the region including Iraq.

Brigadier General Hajizadeh described IRGC's training, operational and advisory cooperation with the Iraqi army in the fight against ISIL and Takfiri terrorism in this country as ‘decisive and crucial’.

Iran has been a friend of the Iraqi people during difficult times and always thinks about the unity and integration of this neighboring country, he reiterated.

The Iraqi minister, for his part, hailed Iran’s help to the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIL terrorist groups and added, “Iraq will never forget brotherly and friendly support of Iran to Iraq in the fight against Daesh [the Arabic acronym for ‘ISIS/ISIL’] terrorist group.
