The commander of the Air Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said that his country is still seeking to kill former US President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

In retaliation for the assassination of the great military commander, Qassem Soleimani, stressing that Tehran is capable of targeting American ships two thousand kilometers away.

"We hope that we will be able to kill Trump, Pompeo, former US general Kenneth McKenzie, and the military leaders who ordered the killing of Qassem Soleimani," Hajizadeh said in remarks broadcast on Iranian television on Friday evening.

Trump had ordered the assassination in response to attacks against US interests in Iraq, for which his administration held Iran responsible.

Iran responded days later by firing missiles at Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq, which hosts US forces.

No one was killed in response, but Washington said dozens of its troops suffered concussions.

Hajizadeh added that Iran did not intend to kill "soldiers" when it launched a ballistic missile attack on the US-led forces in Iraq, days after Soleimani's assassination.

New missile

Hajizadeh also unveiled a new long-range "Bawah" cruise missile, with a range of 1,650 kilometers.

On Saturday, Iranian state television broadcast a video clip of what it said was a "Bawah cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km" developed by the Revolutionary Guards.

He pointed out that the "Gaza" drones are capable of carrying 9 bombs and flying long distances.

Hajizadeh added in his televised statements that Iran is now able to strike American ships from two thousand kilometers away.

He added, "The American fleet in the Indian Ocean and Bahrain, the Red and Mediterranean, are within our missile range."

He added that not exceeding this range is out of consideration for the Europeans, who must maintain this respect for themselves, as he put it.

He said, "America's interests lie in destabilizing security in West Asia and even the world," referring to the wars that America caused, adding, "If we are not strong, these same incidents will extend into Iran."

Iran has expanded its missile program, especially ballistic missiles, despite the objections of the United States and European countries' expressions of concern, while Tehran says that its program is purely defensive and has a deterrent nature.

Last November, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said that the United States had doubts about reports quoting Hajizadeh as saying that Iran had developed a hypersonic ballistic missile.
