Pro-Iran media is reporting that Iran has fired ballistic missile into US bases inside Iraq.

Simultaneously, a senior US military source in Iraq tells Fox News they’re “under missile attack from Iran, “cruise missiles or short range ballistic missiles”, “All over the country”!
Hizbollah says “vengeance begins”

Social media videos purportedly of missiles in the sky fired from Iran.
These reports of rocket attacks are coming in at the same time, from the Iranians and a senior official speaking to Fox News from Iraq.

Let’s wait and see what the US and Iraqis officially say.
So the news is now ranging from big deal to a dud:

Big deal: Iran has fired ballistic missiles into US military bases in Iraq, in clear retaliation to the killing of #QassemSoleimani

A dud: small rockets with lots of media noise.
No clarity yet. If the US military is hit, it’ll say it soon.
Yes, everyone seems to want Iran to hit to save face and the US, as an easy way out. Let’s see.

The immediate comment to Fox News from a “senior military source” is weird as hell.
Iran has started operation “Martyr Soleimani” at dawn today with several rockets being fired at Ayn al-Asad base in Iraq, state television reported, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Bloomberg News reports.

A second round of missiles attacks reported by Iranian media.

Remember this is mostly pro-regime media reports so far.
Reports of US jets flying from the UAE.
