US, Iran Trade Threats Following Iran General's Killing

VOA News

   The leaders of the U.S. and Iran lobbed threats at each other following
   the death of a top Iranian general who was killed Friday in a U.S.
   airstrike in Iraq's capital.

   Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei promised harsh revenge
   following the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

   U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to attack multiple
   Iranian locations if Iran takes retaliatory measures for Soleimani's
   death.

   Trump tweeted that the U.S. has identified 52 sites in Iran that the
   U.S. would strike "very fast and very hard" should Iran attack any U.S.
   personnel or assets. The number 52 represents the 52 American hostages
   taken by Iran many years ago.
