CNN reports the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in its Telegram channel that, in the event Iranian soil is bombed, it will target the cities of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and Haifa in Israel, in the third wave of operations.

CNN further reports that Iranian Revolutionary Guard says  in a footnote, “This time we will respond to you in America”

They are also reporting that security has been increased around the grounds of the White House in light of the current tensions with Iran.



 

US Secret Service officers with assault rifles were spotted at checkpoints near the White House.

CNN reports white House aides had initially made plans for a possible address to the nation by Trump, according to two officials, but a White House official said that Trump would not speak on Tuesday.

CNN reports Iran launched more than a dozen missiles at two Iraqi bases that hold US troops in what appears to be retaliation for the American airstrike that killed a top Iranian general last week.

A US official told CNN that there were no initial reports of any US casualties, but an assessment of the impact of the strikes is underway.

There are casualties among the Iraqis at Ain al-Asad airbase following the attack.

The number of casualties and whether the individuals were killed or wounded is not immediately clear.

The attack comes days after the US killed top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

The administration has sought to cast that strike as an attempt to de-escalate tensions with Iran, but Tehran has vowed revenge for the killing, which it says was an "act of war" and "state terrorism."
