The United States military tried, but failed, to take out another senior Iranian commander on the same day a US drone strike killed the Revolutionary Guard's top general, Qassem Soleimani, US officials said Friday.
The officials said a military air attack targeted Abdul Reza Shahlai, a high-ranking commander in Iran's Islamic Republican Guard Corps but the mission was not successful. The officials spoke to the Associated Press news agency on condition of anonymity in order to discuss a classified mission.
The Pentagon declined to discuss the highly classified operation.
