DEVELOPING: (Fox News) – Missiles were fired early Wednesday in multiple locations across Iraq, a senior U.S. military source in the country told Fox News, describing it as a series of attacks on U.S. forces from Iran. The source told Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin: “Under missile attack from Iran.
These are either cruise missiles or short-range ballistic missiles. All over the country.” Meantime, Iran state TV claimed Tehran launched “tens” of surface-to-surface missiles at Iraq’s Ain Assad air base housing U.S. troops.
It came days after Iranian Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad’s airport. A senior Iraqi commander of an Iran-backed militia also was killed. The U.S. blamed Soleimani for the killing of hundreds of American troops, and said he was plotting new attacks just before his death. FULL REPORT
