On Jan. 3, Iranian state television had reported that the country's military troops have had already launched its F-14 fighter jets that are aimed towards 'western skies,' first reported via Daily Express.
This action seemed to be part of Iran's 'severe revenge' against the U.S. after the incident of the U.S. military launching airstrikes on the country on early Friday-- resulting in the death of Iran's top General officer, General Qasem Soleimani.
Aside from Soleimani, another high-ranking military officer was found dead by Iranian troops named Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis-- said to be a close adviser of Soleimani and the deputy of the Iranian militias known as the Popular Mobilization Units.
The U.S. military already confirmed that they were the ones that killed the Iranian military officers as per U.S. President Donald Trump's command.
However, they said that they did what they need to do in order to protect the citizens of the U.S. after Soleimani was 'allegedly' plotting more Iranian attack plans against the U.S. just like what happened on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad earlier this week-- wherein 650 military officers were sent to stop protesters in entering the building.
"This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans," the Defense Department said in its statement. "The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world."
Now, NBC News Correspondent Ali Arouzi tweeted that Iranian military troops are beginning to protest against the United States, and Persian gulf bases already fly out its combination of fighter jets classified as F5, F14 tomcats and mig29 squadrons.
"Iranian F14 fighters jets maneuvering on the western skies and alert and patrol," tweeted by Arouzi.
Are We Going to Witness World War 3?
The last World War ended decades ago. However, reports say that the world will soon witness another world war between the U.S. and Iran due to their conflicts, which is World War 3.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated that President Donald Trump and the U.S. military troops just made a huge mistake after what they did to their high-ranking officials.
"Soleimani's martyrdom will make Iran more decisive to resist America's expansionism and to defend our Islamic values," he stated on Iranian television.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif even called the U.S. action as "an extremely dangerous and foolish escalation," wherein he demands responsibility from the U.S. and suffers from consequences due to their 'rogue adventurism.'
U.S. Officials Protected Trump By Saying 'He made the right decision'
Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, protected the decision of Trump by calling his actions as 'right and a brave call.' Adding the statement, "This is very simple: General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil b------ who murdered Americans."
Another statement from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark, said that "Tonight, he got what he richly deserved, and all those American soldiers who died by his hand also got what they deserved: justice."
Though lots of reports already claimed that there's a chance of World War 3 before the U.S. elections, U.S. President Trump believed that it's impossible.
Just like what he stated on New Year's eve, "I don't see that happening. No, I don't think Iran would want that to happen."
"I want to have peace. I like peace. And Iran should want peace more than anybody," added by him.
