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.
Here are the latest updates:

> don’t really remember the details.
The Iranian assets were frozen and held as escrow until such time that damages from the embassy and ensuing 444 day hostage situation could be assessed and levied.
No administration had the backbone to do it.
0bama simply returned it, when it wasn’t his to return.
Cuck Todd is an Iranian stooge.
I knew it!!!!!
I told my husband when he made that opening statement,
“watch the stocks skyrocket”........
I agree.... “measured and serious” it could be no other way at the hour.
Checked in with MSNBC to hear Chrissy say that because Trump doesn’t have enough “book learning” he is being pushed toward war by “the likes of Pence and Pompeo” ... and Chrissy was so apoplectic his he couldn’t hide his pronounced lisp.
Complete and total victory ending a 40 year war.
With ONE shot.
This man cannot get credit no matter what feat of magic he performs.
0moeba is an Iranian stooge, too.
We took out their international terrorist for a few holes in the ground. Massive win.
It was a great speech
They want desperately for Trump to be another Bush. He isn’t, to their immense frustration, taking their bait. Good.
The tingle down Chrissy’s leg this time was the run-off from his full adult diaper.
huh?
When someone said online something about Ww3. I said, no - far from it - We just ended decades of threats.
Yes he did.
Trump’s tweet last night did that in spades. Probably one of the more calming tweets of all time. The more he turns the other cheek when it’s warranted the more support he gets from his countrymen. His escalation was, I believe, widely supported because of how restrained he’s been. If Iran does something again and Trump hits back twice as hard he’ll be supported all the more because of his actions (lack of response) last night. He’s the right man to lead the country.
Exactly. President Trump wants what’s best for Everyone.. and most of the world knows it. I’m sad for those who don’t.. they are missing out.
“He sounded unhappy.”
I’d say he sounded resolute.
