AIN ASSAD AIR BASE, Iraq — Iran struck back Tuesday for the killing of a top Iranian general last week, firing a series of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops in a major escalation.
Iranian state TV reported the strikes were in retaliation for the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, whose death Friday prompted angry calls to avenge his slaying.
A U.S. official said there were no immediate reports of American casualties.

President Trump said exactly what I thought he would say.. He Always does the right thing. Such an Amazing Man.. An Amazing LEADER. God bless our President.. America.. and the world.
He finished his speech, turned around and walked into the sunlight.
He slammed the HELL out of 0moeba without even mentioning his name. Love it!
Excellent response! Stable genius!
Ye of little faith.
Our Prez and that crew behind him are on top of this, imho.
Delivered speech and walked out.
“Somebody needs to screencap Trump walking out of the light as the doors opened. Would make an awesome meme.”

“He said the missiles fired by Iran were paid for by the money Obama gave them”.
Yes, he’s rightfully putting much of the blame on POSObama. Gotta love it.
Content has been excellent. Military strikes are over, but economic pressure will be increased.
Thanks, AB
“0moeba”.......LOL!
I thought he was not happy also. The General over his left shoulder looked really nervous.
Not taking. Speech was fully scripted. He mispronounced/stumbled a couple times, but all in all a very good delivery.
Also a very good message. Time for the EU to take action in its own interest. This instability is in their backyard and affects their economies directly.
DEM callers to C-SPAN are citing “Operation Ajax” of the 1950’s. Overt anti-Israel
Ball is in Iran’s court. They hit us again, they’ll be crushed.
AND President Trump means it - - we know it and Iran knows it...
Was his hat strategically dipped below one eye?
I bet the Eurocommies are soiling their bloomers. The president has warned them their free ride is ending.
Mitchell said Trump was wrong and that it was already Iran’s money that Obama gave them.
