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:

Update 9:30 a.m. EST Jan. 8: President Donald Trump is expected to speak Wednesday morning amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Iran seems to be standing down ...

The days of tolerating Iran’s terrorism, etc. are over.

Justifying the targeting of Solemaini (spelling). He should have been terminated long ago. Eliminating him sends a strong message.

Still evaluating options, but immediate economic sanctions until Iran changes its behavior. Lists Iran hostilities since Obama gave them 150 billion, and 1.5 billion in cash. Instead of thanks, they chanted death to america and went on a terror spree.

Agree.

Who, on our side, is even talking about this??? Should be first thing out of their mouths, on any show/tweet/post they make.

Talking about the sanctions....then about the $150 billion.....that funded terrorist actions in Iran....and paid for the missiles that were fired at our bases last night....and killed 1500 Iranians recently.

Iran must abandon its nuclear intentions....and ends its terrorism endeavors...

Talking about Iran can be a great nation....

Going to ask NATO to become more involved in Middle East

Calls on NATO to get involved in Middle East. We don’t need the oil there, but they do.
