Iran Fires Missiles At U.S. Bases In Iraq


 This won't be the last of the escalations, bet on it:
Heavy missile attacks were carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps on the Ain al-Assad air base in Iraq that hosts both Iraqi and US soldiers on Tuesday night. Nine missiles hit the airbase, according to Al-Hadath.
A US military official confirmed to Fox News that US forces were being targeted by rocket attacks. A senior US military source in Iraq told Fox that US soldiers were being targeted by either cruise missiles or short range ballistic missiles being fired from Iranian territory at multiple US bases and targets throughout Iraq, tweeted Jennifer Griffin, a Fox News correspondent.
A US official told ABC News that ballistic missiles were fired from inside Iran at multiple US military facilities inside Iraq on Wednesday morning, including Erbil in northern Iraq and Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq. 
No word yet of casualties or damage.
