Breaking: Iran launches missiles into US air bases in Iraq: US official

"This morning, courageous fighters of the IRGC's Air Force launched a successful operation called Operation Martyr Soleimani, with the code 'Oh Zahra' by firing tens of ground-to-ground missiles at the base of the terrorist and invasive US forces," the country's state-run news outlet ISNA reported.

A U.S. official confirms to ABC News that ballistic missiles have been fired from inside Iran at multiple U.S. military facilities inside Iraq on Wednesday morning local time. The facilities include Erbil in northern Iraq and Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq, the official said.

The attack comes days after the U.S. killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a drone attack in Iraq.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper in a briefing at the Pentagon Tuesday said the U.S. was ready to retaliate for any attack launched by Iran.

"Thirdly, to our partners and allies and to the Iran regime, I would like to say we are not looking to start a war with Iran. But we are prepared to finish one," Esper said. "As I've told my many colleagues, as I spoke to them over the last few days, what we like to see is the situation be de-escalated and for Iran to sit down with us to begin a discussion about a better way ahead."

Now it looks like we are going to war. You guys happy now?

No American casualties, so US has no need to respond. The ball is still in the Iran court...

I am very happy to hear that.
I hope you are right the rest.

 

[GILSAN]

We are now in a Whole New Ballgame.

I hope you guys understand this.
This will not be a boots on the ground type of war.
Trump wants an excuse to use Nukes and now he thinks he has one.

God help us all.

Now you're gonna have Russian + Iranian + Nuclear nightmares. LOL... Lennco is going bananas!

He got Graham instead:

"Sen. Lindsey Graham on Hannity tonight: “This was an act of war, Sean, by any reasonable definition,” Graham said before noting that “the President has all the authority he needs under Article II to respond.”

Saw the he was trending - https://twitter.com/search?q=Hannity&src=trend_click

You could tell some people trying to get this to pop off.

It looks like so far no deaths in the attack. I do agree this could be Iran just sending a little notice. When reading their response it seems like, don't respond and there won't be anymore. If Trump retaliates, then it could pop off.

--------
Fox’s Sean Hannity opens his show saying of Iran:

“They’re gonna get hit hard.”

“Their three major refineries could soon go up in flames.”

“We can report six B-52 bombers are on their way to the region.”

This is one of the idiots Trump listens too.

Hannity = straight instigator

 

[GILSAN]

good Gawd man, there won’t be any martial law , you sound like freaky Alex Jones

Sounds more like Joseph Raymond McCarthy

We are going to war and SirDrago is hurt about memes.

Lennco freaking out!

Lennco freaking out!

You really have no idea how lucky we will be if nothing becomes of this.

 

[GILSAN]

Believe me I hope you are right.
But this man is completely incapable to handle a War.

He will not listen to reason from his Generals. He will do whatever he wants to do and that is the most dangerous thing this country has ever faced.

Trump is dangerous!.

Very naive of you.

That is all Trumps needs to hear from his #1 Fanboy to get Trump pumped up to start more sh!t.
This most likely is not over yet...Gilsan, mr-x, .x.

 

[lennco]

Very naive of you.

You are the one who is very Naive
I stand by what I said 100%

 

[lennco]

Can someone please post any video of any US Democrat Senator or Congressman or any US top media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS or even Fox mourning the death of Soleimani?

And the video must not be edited and taken out of context.

I'll be waiting.......

Still waiting..........

We'll see. He seems calmer:

"All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."

He needs to chill right now. If he responds and retaliates to what they just did and that retaliation results in more death. That's when things go off. We don't need another Bush/Iraq type deal, where things escalate even more, more troops are sent over etc. Seems he's also backing off hitting cultural targets.

So we have:
Rand Paul
Tucker Carlson
Geraldo

telling Trump to calm himself

You have folks like Hannity telling him to light that match

That is great, but can he stay chilled?

I hope so, I hope this isn't some kind of misdirection to get the Iranians to lower the guard.

I just added to my post as you were typing that.

We'll see. It's pretty obvious there are some trying to amp things up. Hannity needs to be checked.

Just another example of why Fox is also dangerous.

We'll see what Trump says tomorrow, the tone. He can either escalate or de-escalate. You can be firm but there is a line where it goes into mocking/challenging. Everybody wants to save face, so there needs to be that space.

The thing with Trump is that he Must feel like he came out ahead.
If he feels in anyway Iran one upped him, then his Narcissistic ego will drive him to do something really stupid.

What hears from people like Hannity will only make him feel like Iran got the better of him.
He really needs to turn off FOX for awhile.

 

[GILSAN]

Will Iraq get pissed off and retaliate against Iran for destroying their two bases?
