TEHRAN, Iran — Iran state TV says Tehran has launched “tens” of surface-to-surface missiles at Iraq’s Ain Assad air base housing U.S. troops over America’s killing of a top Iranian general.
State TV described it early Wednesday as Tehran’s revenge operation over the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani.Ain Assad air base is located in Iraq’s western Anbar province. It was first used by American forces after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. It later saw American troops stationed there amid the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
State TV said the operation’s name was “Marytr Soleimani.” It said the Guard’s aerospace division, which controls Iran’s missile program, launched the attack.

Trump spars with House panel, threatens Iraq and IranPresident Donald Trump tweeted that his social media posts “serve as notification” to Congress that the U.S. will retaliate against any attack from Iran — and the House Foreign Affairs Committee wasn’t having it Hah-Ha-haaaaa ...... Why do people consider a social media post of any kind as the correct way to notify others. It’s not the correct way and in some cases it’s extreme bad manners so that’s why trump does it. No manners at all.
