Ali Hajizadeh, IRGC aerospace commander:

- The US lie about having no casualties. If they are truthful, we call on them to open up Ain al-Assad base to scrutiny.

- 9 planes transported US casualties to the US, Jordan & some Iraqi hospitals too
- We could have destroyed the place where the majority of US troops were, but we did not do this.

- Our goal was to destroy the leadership HQ at Ain al-Assad, and this is what we did, as the images show.
- The US army did not fire a single round towards any Iranian force, despite the grand firepower they possess.

- If Trump is so insistent that the US army suffered zero casualties, I call upon him to open Ain al-Assad (to scrutiny) in order to prove this.
- Our response was precise, and the hit-and-run era is over.

- We fired 13 missiles and were ready to fire hundreds more in case of any US response.

- We were prepared to respond to each response for days on end.
- We received numerous messagse from the Resistance groups in the region, informing us of their readiness to respond (to anything).

(Note here, as @allushiii also pointed out: behind Hajizadeh are arrayed the flags of the entire resistance axis- highly significant symbolism)
@allushiii - A direct targeting of US military sites with zero military response is unheard of since WW2

- US presence in our region is now under threat, and I advise them to leave voluntarily.

- To Gulf states: though you host US troops & bases, be sure the US will do nothing to save you
@allushiii - The assassination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani shall invoke a tsunami in the region, which will swallow up every single US base in it.

- We were fully prepared to directly kill US troops in case of any US response to our attack.
@allushiii - The Iranian response was a slap in the face of the Americans, & further responses shall come from the resistance axis.

- Should the US respond at any point, the next Iranian step shall not be a slap (like the 1st), but will be a step that will change the entire equation.
@allushiii - These operations are not worthy of the blood of the martyr Qassem Soleimani & his companions.

- The attack on Ain al-Assad is merely the first step of the Qisas (Just Punishment) that we will mete out, which shall only end with the ejection of the US miltiary from the region.
@allushiii - In the wake of the assassination of martyr Qassem Soleimani, a new phase of the Revolution has begun in the region.

[Al-Mayadeen reporter notes, as I noted in a previous tweet: this is the first time ever an IRGC leader speaks in front of the flags of the Axis of Resistance]
