Iran eyeing 2 US military bases to attack if hostilities rise from other side-IRGC

Tehran, Sep 15 (UNI) Iranian Armed Forces are keeping an eye on two US military bases and a warship in the region and will attack these targets if the United States started hostilities, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said on Sunday.
According to him, Iranian missiles have been zeroed in on Al Udeid air base in Qatar, Al Dhafra air base in the United Arab Emirates, as well as on a US warship in the Gulf of Oman, after Iran shot down a US spy drone over the Persian Gulf in July.
"We would have hit those targets if the US had shown a reaction ... We have constantly prepared ourselves for a full-fledged war," Ali Hajizadeh said as quoted by Mehr News Agency.
