Iran will take revenge on US over its crimes

A senior Iranian military commander says Iran will take its revenge on the US over the “recent crimes” it has committed in Iran.

“People are angry at those who paved the ground for the recent incidents and assassinations,” Brig. Gen. Mohammad-Reza Naqdi, commander of Basij forces said on Wednesday.

“The revenge for these crimes should be taken on the US and with the support of God we will do so,” Fars news agency quoted Naqdi as saying.

He noted that the assassination of an Iranian scientist and university professor on Tuesday showed that the West is against Iran’s scientific and technological progress.

Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, a lecturer at the University of Tehran, was killed when a booby-trapped motorbike exploded in front of his home in Tehran.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday said that Iran has found clues of the US and Israel’s involvement in the assassination of Ali-Mohammadi.
