War has started between Iran and the US after Tehran launched ballistic missiles on the US military bases. Officials of Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps made menacing statement following operation. According to their statement, while Iran will be facing any attack from the territories of allies of the United States, Tehran will hit these territories.  This means, if the US attempt to use Incirlik base in Turkey for bombing Iran, this country could encounter any responsive attack from its neighbor.

There are claims that Iran missile attack caused more casualties in US military base.  After operation, IRGC stated that if they see any responsive strike from the US again, their next counterattack will be more serious and harder.

One of the important points in Iran’s statement is referred to the allies of the United States. Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps threatened allies to not allow the US to launch strikes through their territories to Iran.  Their territories could be under the target of Islamic Republic. 

Turkey is a one of the US allies and there is American military base in this country called Incirlik.

Incirlik base is a strategically one of the significant US military bases in the region. The location of this base in Turkey is 10 km away from Adana city and 56 km from Mediterranean Sea, which is close to Iran. Any strike from the Incirlik base by the US to Iran would lead Turkey to come under Iranian target.

The US military bases in the region.

Iran geographically covered with eleven countries where there are American military bases.  If we look at map below, we could see that the United States set up his military entities in Western Asia, such as Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman,  in the Central Asia, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.  Washington trust all bases in these countries that strategically are directed to not only strengthen his military and political power in Asia, but also encircle Iran.

Iran call America to withdraw army from the region.

According to Iran State Media that the missile attack on US military bases in Iraq is just beginning. Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Commanders touched the importance of withdrawing US army from the region. They said that they will insist on continuing responsive attacks to American military forces until Washington complete withdraw of his army. IRGC also demanded American people to urge their government to make move on withdrawing.

Furthermore, IRGC will add Israel in their target, and they consider that Tel-Aviv is guilty in the killing of Iran Top General Qasem Soleimani.
