Iran is believed to have deliberately avoided U.S. military casualties during retaliatory missile strikes on bases housing American troops in Iraq, following the U.S. killing of an Iranian general, according to U.S. and European government sources familiar with intelligence assessments.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Wednesday the Iranians were thought to have targeted the attacks to miss U.S. forces to prevent the crisis from escalating out of control while still signaling Iranian resolve in response to the U.S. killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq last week.

They're probably telling their people they killed ten thousand American soldiers anyway.
Iran looks like a bunch of human female sex organs.
And all of these media people telling us how scary they are all this time.
Iran is not Iraq.
Tucker Carlson, I am looking right at you.
And Iran is now the good guy?
Maybe they did. But this article is nothing more than conjecture built on supposition. Typical MSM fare.
Fair enough. So they avoided escalating the tensions. Good for them. Now, they know that we are keeping an eye on them are not afraid to act. They now know that we are serious.
Negative. I tend to believe the first reports from OUR DOD that those in command in Iraq had fore knowledge of the attack and were able to get troops and staff to safe locations.
A day or two after the fact and THEY say, "Yeah, we missed on purpose."
BS.
Yaright......
Its the narrative they want you to believe so you will now be sympathetic to Iran.
I don’t think Iran is saying that. But, whatevs.
They chose wisely.
Did they deliberately shoot those missiles that hit but failed to detonate? Man, those mullahs be some smarties!
I just saw a satellite pic over at Twitchy, and they definitely were not all hitting the middle of a field
They drilled some of the buildings
My money's on fear.They caved to Trump just as they caved to Reagan on Inauguration Day 1981.
See Post #16
The ‘Iranians showed admirable restraint’ will be the new line from the mullah loving toady media
OK
Who here believes the Fateh-110 SRBM, modeled after an unguided rocket, is capable of singling out a specific building from 200 miles away?
Or any Iranian ballistic missile for that matter.
Anybody?
They didn’t deliberately miss any more than they deliberately hit. They just didn’t kill anyone.
