The military adviser to Iran's supreme leader, Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan said Iran's response to a U.S. strike that killed one of the country's top commanders will be military.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed "severe revenge" after a U.S. drone strike Friday in Baghdad killed Qasem Soleimani, the powerful commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force foreign operations arm.
"The response for sure will be military and against military sites," Dehghan told CNN in Farsi, according to a translation by the U.S. news network.
