Tehran: Iran has warned that US attacks on Iran-linked targets in Syria will be responded to immediately and with greater intensity.
According to the international news agency, the statement issued by the spokesman of the Iranian army said that the US has the right to refrain from attacking the military bases linked to Iran in Syria, otherwise it has the right to retaliate.
The spokesman added that Iran has built military bases there at the request of the Syrian government to fight terrorism and ISIS. Any pretext to attack these military bases and installations will be immediately responded to.

“We consider the US forces in Syria to be occupation forces and know how to stop the advance of the US army,” said a spokesman for the Iranian military.
It should be remembered that an American contractor was killed and 5 American soldiers were injured in a drone attack in the eastern region of Syria.
The death toll in the US strike has risen to 19, including three Syrian soldiers, 11 fighters from a pro-government organization and three fighters from a country in the government coalition believed to be Iranian soldiers.
