Iranian retaliation begins with missile attack on Iraqi airbase
By TZVI JOFFRE JANUARY 8, 2020 01:21

Initial reports stated that 9 rockets hit the Ain al-Assad airbase on Tuesday. The base hosts American soldiers.

Heavy missile attacks were carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps on the Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq that hosts both Iraqi and US soldiers on Tuesday night. Nine missiles hit the airbase, according to Al-Hadath.

NWO Livestream has reported several times that some of the photos/videos being posted online are fake.

Who’s with me to pray for peace at this moment?

This could go south, real quick. There are reports before this that Iran is very close to nuclear weaponry. Probably not ICBM capable, but at least regional. If not now, then very soon.

I think we should all be praying for a peaceful resolution, not hoping for more escalation.

[Jeff Chandler]

Any bets on an aerial engagement yet guys?

U.S. F-22s will eat them alive.

[Jet Jaguar]

They will be the first losses for Iran.

NOT POST, you mean.

"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."

It’s coming up on a full moon. Don’t think we’ll do anything for another week or so.

Loose lips there bucko

If that is what the current rules of engagement are it wouldn’t surprise me if the Iranians were deliberately missing. Shooting off a bunch of show missiles and leaving it at that but I would doubt that scenario. Just a thought.

[crusty old prospector]

I count over 100 planes over both of them on flightradar24.com.

[edwinland]

Good point but I think we used up that idea in Mazar i Sharif and Southern Iraq - Baghdad. Doubt we will use it again.

Fox said “More than a dozen.”

This source says "about 35".

"#Breaking Shelling has stopped at #alasad base, according to military source. About 35 rounds total hit the base."

Loose lips STFU

[Scott from the Left Coast]

No, isn’t won’t go nuclear, they have probably already launched a pre-emptive strike on Hezbolla. There may be very little except smoke coming out of the ground in southern Lebanon in a few hours.

Confirmed. There have been casualties, but their numbers are not clear yet

“One of my sources connected to the military says 30+ dead.

I think it is too early for such a detailed casualty report”

I suspect what few F-14 Tomcats they can fly never left the ground or turned back well within their airspace. Otherwise they were nothing more than Kamikaze or defection missions.

Interesting site.

"Israel is reporting Iranian aircraft departing Iran and heading toward Iraq. US aircraft from Saudi Arabia and Turkey scrambling now in addition to those leaving the UAE."

6 US F-35s seen taking of from UAE. Iran issues warning to UAE that they will be attacked should any US aircraft launched from their country attack Iran.— DEFCONWarningSystem (@DEFCONWSALERTS) January 8, 2020

So, I’m a little late to this party.

Any reliable reports that they actually hit anything?

[Professional]

Correct.

I live by a huge military base, I never talk about it online...the green men, the saucers, the hordes of rabbits that race from the place on a full moon...
