Looks like Iran just retaliated for the assassination of their beloved general.
All sorts of reports are saying that the Iranians have attacked American military bases in Iraq. Specifically the Al Asad Airbase in Iraq.
Here’s just some of what is being said on social media.
Reports say Iran is firing dozens of missiles into Iraq, hitting U.S. forces at Al Asad Airbase. Early reports say 20 U.S. troops have died, amid 60+ missile strikes so far. If true, then we are at the precipice of another horrible war in the Middle East.

Fars News, an IRGC-influenced Iran state media org, says "sources" tell them Iran firing "ballistic missiles" at US base in Iraq. Al Asad Airbase targeted. It's a joint US-Iraq base in Anbar province.
In other words, Iran confirms it's attacking US base.https://t.co/kuhtPmhZK0

And from Iran’s English media network.
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has targeted the US airbase of Ain al-Assad in Anbar province in western Iraq after vowing to retaliate the US assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander, Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
“Tens of surface-to-surface missiles” were fired at the strategic airbase and the attack was later confirmed by the US officials.
The IRGC has called for a complete withdrawal of US troops from the Arab country, asserting that it would not differentiate between the US and Israel in retaliating against the assassination of the Iranian national hero.
The IRGC added that it would release more details about the strike.
The strike comes as no surprise since Iran had vowed to take a “harsh revenge” in the wake of the US terror attack.
Iran is definitely taking responsibility for the attacks.
This looks like it could be the start of a major conflict with Iran. A conflict that the ZOG empire of America will lose.
There is zero public support for this insanity but the orange man has said he’d respond to any Iranian attacks. So we can only assume that we’ll see an escalation versus a deescalation.
But shit, if a big war with Iran is the only way for America to leave the Middle East, so be it.
