Added Live Stream-Stay safe, everyone!

Iran launched missile strikes aimed at US troops in Iraq in what it said was retaliation for the killing last week of top Iranian general Qassem Suleimani.

Al-Asad air base in Iraq’s Anbar province, which hosts a US contingent, was hit at least six times, the US military confirmed.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, of which Suleimani was a member, issued a statement saying: “In Operation Martyr Suleimani in early hours of Wednesday, tens of ground-to-ground missiles were fired at the US base and successfully pounded the Al Assad base.”

The Guardian:

“We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted,” The Guard said. It also threatened Israel.
