Iran called there bluff how, they managed to only kill innocent iraqis going by reports. They either meant that as they didnt want to push trump or else they are the most incompetent army in history.

By launching these attacks, now if the US wants to retaliate, is it really worth opening that can of worms?

You don't assassinate a countries second in command and then stick your finger up at them, they were warned, he's a complete dufus in the whitehouse

Iran claim many dead, Trump will now destroy them or look a coward .

Iran doesn't have missiles to hit America. Unless they spent a fortune on those new Russian warheads that fly at supersonic speed and can direction mid flight to avoid being intersected.

They don’t need missiles to undertake attacks on US soil though.

Why would the us respond if there red line has not been crossed which is us casualties. It looks pretty weak on iran if they only killed iraqis, how can they claim revenge then if no us blood was spilled?

It seems to show some sort of countermeasures used against the missiles though - which doesn’t seem to have done any good.

According to Iran they fired tens of missiles.

Consensus seems to suggest between 5 and 10 arrived in Iraq , seems either counter measures worked very well or most of them Iranian missiles you cheered missed and missed badly .

Killing Iraqi's but we knew that already (some of did )

IRGC has used Qiam and Zolfaghar missiles for attacking the US bases in Iraq. They are guided missiles.

How many US dead we have to see? To be honest it possible the bunkers withstood the blast?

There Iraqi dead so they killed people inside the base!

It's still an attack on a US base, I don't know seems to be different sources of the fatalities involved

I'd wait for real facts first before deciding which rockets they supposedly fired tens of.

US drone was shot down before, no response from us, the red line is casualties , if there is no us casualties, i dont expect a military response, again makes iran look very weak if they only killed iraqis after vowing revenge on america, how can they say to there people oh we killed some iraqis solidiers in response for the us killing our top general.

Coincidental timing?

Cheerful Spring2

According to Fox News 15 ballistic missiles launched 10 direct hits at Al-Asad Air Base . One hit at Erbil- 4 failed.

Going by this report Iran seems to have just targeted one US base and the other attack was someone firing a rocket, maybe?

I think they didn't respond over the drone because they knew it was in Iranian airspace, that's a violation of sovereignty or do you think the US has the right to do that but not the brown guys? Tump just played it up for the public as if he was concerned about the families of the victims if he retaliated

Well, the DoD started at least a dozen were launched. Local Sunni militia at Al Asad said that at least ten hit the base, one hit Erbil, and one failed near Erbil, so I’m not seeing any scope whatsoever for countermeasures having ‘worked very well’.

Whats color got to do with this, as far as im aware Americans are various colors, what a stupid comment.

Storm in a tea cup really, a response but a very limp one.

Iran aren't stupid enough to balls to wall and kill Americans.

Completely, Iran look very weak after this if only Iraqi casualties.

MadYaker

If there's no US casualties you'd hope trump would leave it at that, at least in terms of military action. There'll be sanctions surely. I don't think Trump wants an all out war with Iran. Wars don't play well with his base and Iran are a very different beast to Iraq.

Hundreds down to tens and dozens to 10 ,

Next to no explosions but nice footage of c-rams in action .

Iran claiming they've killed 30 + Americans

Reports say only Iraqis killed

So it seems to misinformation and propaganda is being thrown around by Iran

Your joking, they just launched an attack on US bases, it's far from a limp one, it's balls of steel with horses hard on

Anyone know what happened to the 6 US jets that were scrambled?

How on earth can Soldiers survive 15 ballistic missiles

'' 15 missiles hit us, but we're fine, ''

makes no sense.

Iran has proven tonight that they have seriously good missiles capability.

Saeed Jalili tweeted the Iranian flag tonight , a play on trumps tweeting of the American flag after they assassinated Suleimani
