Iran launched missile strikes late Tuesday against two Iraqi military bases that house U.S. forces in retaliation for the airstrike that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani last week. More than a dozen ballistic missiles targeted the Al Asad and Erbil bases, the Pentagon has said.
There has been no indication from U.S. officials of any American casualties from the strikes, in spite of Iranian claims to have killed dozens. Iraqi officials have said none of their troops were killed or injured.
