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.

His opening sentence was crucial, and unprecedented. After delivering it, he said Good morning and began his speech proper.
If Iran continues development of nukes, they can expect a sudden and massive attack on their facilities and the total destruction of their program. That’s the message I think the president delivered to the leadership over there.
I think it might have been their own money that we froze but don’t really remember the details.
Did Congress appropriate the money to them. If so, the GOP might be complicit
It’s a bad day for Leftists and Terrorists.
Goodness Prevails!!
Utterly irrelvent twaddle by the Fake news Their money or not, Sane adult leaders, DO NOT return money to the largest State Sponsor of Terrorism knowing full well it will be used to attack your troops and your allies.
Chuck Todd now basically saying Iran made Trump back down not wanting conflict.
This was a ‘formal’ speech to the nation, Iran and the world. And very interesting He had the National Security Team standing with him. It was important he not show emotion rather strength and control so I think it was done just as it needed to be....
What do you expect an Iranian apologist newswhore to say?
I was SO hoping he'd finish talking, turn on his heel, stride outta the room, and leave the enemy presstitutes flummoxed.
Would've really enjoyed a bird flip on his way out too, but the above will do nicely ;-)
Exactly!

AMEN!!!
Thank you!
Just heard Fox state Ali Khamenei has cancer and is dying. I wonder if taking Soleimani out was a move to influence the future leadership of Iran. Soleimani was a main hardliner.
Interesting the President mentioned the Euros. It was announced that the Ukrainian commercial air liner that Iran shot down contained 11 Canadians.
Canada is an American enemy supporting Iran
FLASHBACK:
These people are idiots. Then again, they are the ones who made Iran a potent threat through their mindless appeasement of it.
The Left just don’t get it or they intentionally lie.. probably both.
Cuck Dood is an Iranian midget plant in American Media.
