“IF” that is correct, can the US do so?
Yes.

Thank you for the update.
Probably mobile and will be gone by the time the eyes in the sky focus in on them...Perhaps they can and will target Iranian military installations in Iraq along with the local headquarters that control those installations...Concentrate more on leadership...
Sky News Arabia corespondent: 6 rockets fired at Baghdad Green zone where US Embassy is located, 1 rocket landed outside of the Green zone and hit a civilian home causing injuries and damage
Do we even have anyone in the green zone now? I thought we vacated the embassy. If so,are the Iranians and their proxies just doing this for show for the folks back at home?
“Lord God, please protect our people there. May you shield them from all harm. Surround them with your heavenly angels and protect them. May all see your hand and praise you alone In Jesus name”
Amen.
Eyewitnesses confirm the targeting of the US Embassy in central Baghdad
They have the ability to actually destroy you before your rounds even land, but that removes their ability to check for collateral damage risks.
I wish they would just say you shoot you loose and anyone near you better run.
Yes we can...but let’s follow OPSEC. We are at war.
Yes.

The Ground Systems Group off Malvern. My best friend's father worked there for years. He was involved in developing the TOW missile.
We’re going to need a good Baghdad web cam site . . .
Don’t they know we thrive on rockets red glare...
I guess they didn’t want their last three working oil refineries.
Must have been re-tweets from 9/11, huh.
Amen
Counterbattery radar has been a thing since WW2, it’s even automated now. The question is whether counterbattery fire is authorized or in range of our artillery, not whether we can return fire.
I worked at Hughes, Space & Comm for 5 years.
General Sherman commanded an army of 60 000 soldiers and his campaign had victory as a goal.
Right now, the US has 5000 or so troops in Iraq, not organized for combat, and their principal function is to serve as targets to prove our "commitment" to the "Iraqi people".
Twent years ago, the us had the tech to pinpoint the launch site and the destination from the first few seconds of launch... decades ago... I am sure we are ready for any mullah ballistics
