Iranian TV says Tehran has launched missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq

WASHINGTON — Iran launched a series of missile attacks aimed at U.S. bases in Iraq, Iranian state television reported Tuesday, saying that the missiles had been launched as the opening of Tehran’s “revenge” for the U.S. killing last week of a top Iranian general. The Iranian Fars news agency showed footage that it said showed “tens” of missiles being launched toward the Al Assad air base in northwest Iraq, which houses both Iraqi and U.S. forces. The attack was the “beginning of a harsh Iranian revenge” for the death of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the Iranians said.

Iran launches missiles at US military facilities in Iraq: US official

"This morning, courageous fighters of the IRGC's Air Force launched a successful operation called Operation Martyr Soleimani, with the code 'Oh Zahra' by firing tens of ground-to-ground missiles at the base of the terrorist and invasive U.S. forces," the country's state-run news outlet ISNA reported.

A U.S. official confirms to ABC News that ballistic missiles have been fired from inside Iran at multiple U.S. military facilities inside Iraq on Wednesday morning, local time. The facilities include Erbil in northern Iraq and Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq, the official said. "
