(Reuters) - A top military aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cautioned the United States on Wednesday of consequences of "provocative actions" in Iraq, Iranian news agencies reported.
"We advise U.S. politicians and military to take responsibility for the consequences of their provocative actions (in Iraq)," General Yahya Rahim Safavi said, quoted by the semi-official news agency Tasnim. "Any U.S. action will mark an even larger strategic failure in the current president's record."
