Iran has reportedly hit Al Asad Air Base in Anbar province, Iraq with missiles fired from Iran.
Multiple missiles have been launched at Iraq from Iran targeting American military facilities, according to a U.S. official….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.
“A U.S. official” means the news should be treated with caution until confirmed by an official (named) source. Even more so when it comes to the unconfirmed reports of American casualties racing across Twitter.
If they’re truly launching missiles from inside Iran, they’re probably not going to be happy with the American response…
Update: Ebril has also been hit. “A senior administration official told ABC News, ‘We are not seeing any American casualties at this moment.'” Number launched is reportedly “over a dozen,” which hardly suggests a full-hearted attempt at vengeance.
