The Department of Defense has confirmed : “At approximately 5:30 p.m. (EST) on January 7, Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq. It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S. military and coalition personnel at Al-Assad and Irbil.”

The assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs Jonathan Hoffman said that the US is “working on initial battle damage assessments”

In recent days and in response to Iranian threats and actions, the Department of Defense has taken all appropriate measures to safeguard our personnel and
partners. These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces and interests in the region.

As we evaluate the situation and our response, we will take all necessary measures to protect and defend U.S. personnel, partners, and allies in the region.

Iran’s Tasnim news agency has just reported a second wave of rocket attacks has commenced against the Al Asad air base in Iraq, according to The Guardian’s Michael Safi.

More to come.

Really? Not every country has citizens who play with patriotism on social media o. They are born and trained to live and die in defence of their national interest. Even the adversaries of Iran is in awe of their patriotic zeal and it's just a matter of time,the killing of that General will be laid squarely on President Trump and not US as a country sir.

Those who say Iran was making empty threat you are free to adjust your post now because that is what you are good at doing.
One thing I was warned against when I was growing was, never tell your fellow man that he cannot do anything because you may be surprised to see him put his life on the line just to prove to you that he is a man and can do something.
