The US military had advance warning of an incoming rocket barrage from Iran at two bases in Iraq, giving troops time to reach shelter, according to a report Wednesday.
Tehran fired more than a dozen missiles at the bases that house US and coalition forces in retaliation for a drone strike that killed Iran’s top military leader, Qassem Soleimani, last week.
“The early warning system worked,” a US official told USA Today.
A total of 15 surface-to-surface missiles were fired by Iran, US officials.

Their poorly aimed missiles provided and early warning system.

Of course, they did. The “reprisal” attack was purely to allow Iran to save face.
Clyde has upgraded.
I can’t help but think they were poorly aimed on purpose.
Probably, but we need to rid the world of these terrorist and now is a good time. They are weak. Their people are in revolt. We have a legitimate cause. Not a neocon at all, but these bastards have had it coming for decades. They WILL have a nuke soon. Time to end it.
I’m starting to think that this was actually their best effort. And they really, really suck.
We Americans are spoiled by our military’s ability to kick ass. And these dudes are like the Little Rascals against the NY Yankees.
They could have even possibly sent the heads up themselves.
They didn’t save face.
They look like they no longer deserve their media hype reputation any longer.
Tucker, you don’t have to be skerred anymore, little guy.
I think the whole thing was done in agreement with the U.S. Let them look like they’re tough guys then put them on notice to get rid of all nuclear facilities in order to avoid future “earth quakes”.
I think so. Drudge is sporting a big TDS woodie: “It’s war!”
What a pathetic loser.
Google owns drudgereport.com now. Google is having a fit.
Tucker has Tulsi on speed dial - I’m sure her soothing voice has him calmed down, bug-eyed and drooling.
Well she did say that Iran is not Iraq, and I suppose she was right, because Iraq did actually try to fight at least a little bit.
The downside of ballistic missiles is they show up on radar very quickly.
Yeah, I agree... I haven't been to his website in over a year...
Agreed. From our perspective. However, they have told their people that they attacked American and killed Americans. We know differently. :)
Trump played this one perfectly again. MAGA!
CNN is reporting IRAN warned the USA before rockets fired.
Just sent an email to Varney.
I am SO disgusted with their method of annoying us by splitting the screen, using 2/3 of the screen to show film from CNN, MSNBC and other offensive efforts to show what the other channels are doing.
ALL THE SHOWS ARE DOING IT.
It is hard to concentrate on what the hosts and guests are saying and it should STOP, and the person who came up with the idea should be FIRED.
