Iranian Military Threatens to 'Kill One U.S. Soldier for Every Iranian Killed in U.S. Airstrikes'

The Iranian military has issued a threat stating it will retaliate for every Iranian killed in U.S. airstrikes by killing one U.S. soldier.

Commander Ali Abdollahi of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which jointly commands the Iranian armed forces, warned in a statement on the 24th local time that "if any Iranians are killed in future U.S. airstrikes, one U.S. soldier will be eliminated for every victim."

He emphasized, "We believe that the principle already proven to our enemies in actual combat has now been established as a rule of the battlefield," adding, "For every martyred Iranian citizen, one U.S. soldier will be eliminated."

Commander Abdollahi's remarks on this day appear to be a warning taking into account the recent situation where U.S. service members were killed during retaliatory strikes against a base in Jordan.
