Iran has threatened to bomb Israel and Dubai if the United States retaliates for its ballistic missile strike at two Iraqi bases housing US troops.

Tehran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing American troops in a revenge attack for the US drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on Friday.

The Ayn al Asad airbase in western Iraq that was visited by Donald Trump in December 2018 and the Erbil base in Iraqi Kurdistan were both struck by the missiles on Tuesday at about 5.30pm.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned the US and its regional allies against retaliating over the missile attack.

The Guard issued the warning via a statement carried by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency.

'We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted,' The Guard said.

Another television channel of the Guard also threatened to bomb Dubai and Haifa in Israel.

Iranian state TV said the attack was in revenge for the U.S. killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, whose funeral procession Tuesday in his hometown of Kerman prompted angry calls to avenge his death.

The Pentagon says the missiles were 'clearly launched from Iran' to target U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq.

President Donald Trump has been briefed on the attacks and Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were spotted arriving at the White House soon after news of the strikes broke.

The rockets used in the attack, according to Iranian TV, were Fatteh-110 ballistic missiles, which have a range of 186 miles or 300km.

The Iranian air force has since deployed multiple fighter jets to patrol it airspace, according to reports - as Iran warned the U.S. and its allies in the region not to retaliate.

Soleimani's killing and Iran's missile strikes also marked the first time in recent years that Washington and Tehran have attacked each other directly rather than through proxies in the region.

It raised the chances of open conflict erupting between the two nations, which have been foes since the days immediately following Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

After the strikes, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator posted a picture of the Islamic Republic's flag on Twitter, appearing to mimic Trump who posted an American flag following the killing of Soleimani and others Friday in a drone strike in Baghdad.

Ain al-Asad air base was first used by American forces after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, and later saw American troops stationed there amid the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. It houses about 1,500 U.S. and coalition forces.

About 70 Norwegian troops also were on the air base but no injuries were reported, Brynjar Stordal, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Armed Forces told The Associated Press.

State TV said the operation's name was 'Martyr Soleimani'.

It said the Guard's aerospace division that controls Iran's missile program launched the attack. Iran said it would release more information later.

Wednesday's revenge attack came a mere few hours after crowds in Iran mourned Soleimani and as the U.S. continued to reinforce its own positions in the region and warned of an unspecified threat to shipping from Iran in the region's waterways, crucial routes for global energy supplies.

If the US doesn't retaliate, that means a deal has been reached behind the scenes

Iran fired at a base with lesser US troops but more Iraqi troops, whereas there are far more important military bases to target in Iraq where US troops are much.

US defence system refused to intercept the missiles in the air, out of 15 missiles, 10 hit Al Assad base, one hit Erbil base and four failed. Trump and his team hasn't given any speech up til now(very unlike him). The funniest thing is that, the bases were already half cleared prior to the attack and they're zero casualties from the American side.

This looks like Iran contacted US proxies and be like " see we will shoot missiles in Us base at Iraq to so so base at a particular time to save face for the death of our general. Don't intercept the missiles just clear ur facilities and men"

Then the US be like "okay, then you will give a speech that if we don't retaliate, you will stop, and Trump won't retaliate, his approval ratings will be high for saving America from a war, he'll then get re-elected on a platter of gold.
Oil prices will spike, Iran will cash out, poor Iraq will suffer from the game. In the end, no WW3. Solemani just died for nothing.

So USA should better retaliate and prove me wrong

Now that Iran has resist all intimidation by Trump by hitting on us security base, let's see if US/Trump will keep to their target to attack 52 whatever if Iran do anything in retaliation to killing suleimani

Nothing happened to the bases and zero casualties, Iran was just shooting faulty missiles if the US doesn't retaliate that means a deal has been reached behind the scene that means the strikes from Iran were already planned.

It's only Iraq i pity

With 0 casualties, looks like this was all a show of force. Iran knew if it killed Americans it would lead to it's destruction, they also knew they had to do something to save face with the Iranian people . Hopefully Trump sees it this way and avoids war.

But how does attacking Israel and Dubai bring back solemani?

Or Iran just want to kuku destabilize the entire middle east like "if am going down, am going down with everybody"

Food for thought... they're bigger bases like Balal with more American forces

LOMBARDY:

It's not that am praying for war oo but this people should not spoil the show after taking it to this stage

HahahHaha, what concerns Israel and Dubai I'm the brawl?

By the time the war starts, the whole world will shiver at the level of destruction in different nations all over the world.

The zero casualty story is just propaganda. Even Trump tweeted 2 hours ago that they are assessing the number of casualties and the extent of damages. This is no longer looking for anybody. As it stands, only a miracle can stop the war between US and Iran.

I know UAE and Saudi Oil installations will get the most attack.

And that is when this two countries will get involved in the War.

Trump had set this world alight.

Pity.


He is enjoying this catastrophe...

If this is not the antics of the Antichrist, I wonder what is...

But then the highly-symbolic ( The missiles were launched around 1.30am in Iraq, roughly the same time as the drone strike that killed Suleimani on Friday morning) missile strikes, potentially offer “a pathway out of the crisis”.

In their immediate aftermath, the attacks appear to have been carefully calibrated to avoid US casualties – fired at bases that were already on high alert.

Iran’s foreign minister has said the strikes have concluded and characterised them as self-defence within the boundaries of international law – not the first shots in a war.

Trump, in his first comments after the strikes, also sought to play them down.

If Trump’s assessment of the damage holds, Wednesday’s strikes might be an opportunity for both sides to de-escalate without losing face.

good analysis. there is no any war. world military nights are not interesting in any war. all of them are shouting no escalation. international politics and diplomacy is too complex. Suleiman has been sacrificed for gods of war. may be gods are pleased with the sacrifice.

Iran said it would target Israel, UAE and Saudi Arabia if these countries were used by America to stage an attack on its territory. I think that is still in line with the laws of armed conflict.

> Iran attacks embassy, gets dozens killed and only kills an american contractor.

> Iran's national hero is killed because of it.

> Chimp out about it and get 50 of it's own people killed in a stampede during burial.

>attacks US bases

>not even an injured american.

>no significant damage to the base.

>gets scared of retaliation.

This is weird, I always thought the retards of the Middle East were the saudis, are iranians even more retards than them? No way they can be this dumb.

the last part though

It's just a PR move from Iran, and I think it is wise for Trump not to attack and for Iran to seek back-channels in settling this....so that it won't inflame.

The Iranian State TV however, had claimed that about "80 American terrorists" have been killed with severe damages to their military equipment.

What's happened has happened....0 casualties

However, the Canada military have reported no casualties

No Iraqi casualties
https://twitter.com/AFP/status/1214796614998474752?s=19

Iran themselves have said, it has concluded its attacks. A retaliation will only eacalate issues.

Trump please "suru"......
Indian movie....who die don die.

Wetin concern isreal and Dubai for iran strikes,hahahaha,these iranians are foolish I swear,they are just like most Arab nations,useless cowards that only barks and don't bite,they are only good at oppressing their citizens and aiding terrorist activities,most of you in these forums don't know the importance of the freedom that you are enjoying today,without mincing words,such freedom is due to the pro-active measures taken by the u.s.a and her allies towards terrorism,Iran is a terrorist funding nation so I feel no pity for them,Iran Islamic movement took over power in the late 1970's via a revolution,they promised better conditions and all but today they are worse than the monarchy that they took power from,Iran is evil and they will fall.
