Iran state TV: Tehran fires at Iraqi base housing US troops

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran state TV says Tehran has launched “tens” of surface-to-surface missiles at Iraq’s Ain Assad air base housing U.S. troops over America’s killing of a top Iranian general.

State TV described it early Wednesday as Tehran’s revenge operation over the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

U.S. forces could not be immediately reached for comment.

We can expect a US response shortly, I'd imagine.

They have to be having serious stability problems if they're going in as dumb as this.

Trump got his reelection war, just as he warned his predecessor would do.

The **** show, aka the Middle East, continues.

Bags and bags of dead people. Same as always.

Graffiti. I wish it was cause to end the regime's nuke program.

If true, that's an act of war. I think Iran is about to lose one of their naval bases.

BTW, when was the last time the US had a "stampede" that killed over four dozen people? What kind of culture does that?

A stampede broke out Tuesday at the funeral for a top Iranian general slain in a U.S. airstrike, and at least 56 people were killed and more than 200 were injured as thousands thronged the procession, Iranian news reports said.

They'd better be using drones, though. Iran is bristling with SAMs these days.

I think they are about to lose more than that.

Of course it's going to escalate. Iran is as unable to back down as we are. Only difference is, we have a bigger rock in our fist.

Depends on whether they hit anything but dirt or not. If there was no significant damage then the US response will likely be rather muted. If they took out troops and/or equipment we'll probably see Abadan go up in smoke.

Don't you dare blame Trump.

My guess is Esper would like to whack one of their bases, and Trump wants to go full potato.

Consider the possibility of the existence of Iranian sleeper cells here in the US.
