Iran Attacks Iraqi Air Base Where U.S. Troops Are Based | NBC News
If the US invades Iran following the attack, then where would they be entering from? Because it certainly can’t be Iraq, right? Since they’re now demanding all Americans to leave?
Do we really have to invade on ground? I mean that’s what long range missiles are for right?
80 US troops killed in IRGC missile attacks
An informed source in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said the missiles fired at the US airbase in Ain al-Assad in Iraq has left 80 US troops dead.
Iran Press/Iran news: The military source said that the missiles hit vital points of the US airbase, heavily damaging drones, helicopters and other expensive military equipment, inflicting a significant loss on the US Army.
Meanwhile, other informed sources said that the exact number of US casualties is not accurate and the details will be announced later. No official US source has indicated any casualty figures as a result of Iran’s missile strike.
According to the first source, 15 missiles hit al-Assad base none of which were intercepted by the US Army radar system.
The precision and severity of the missiles launched were so high and severe that some have simultaneously destroyed several targets vital for the US.
The US military base in Ain al-Assad, Iraq, is one of the most important bases where all US drones and helicopters are deployed.4,000 US troops are deployed in the very base.
The US wounded troops have been moved to Baghdad through helicopter, with the US Army urging Iraq healthcare sector for help.
In a statement released in the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that a US airbase in western Iraq has been hit with ‘tens of missiles’.
The attack came in response to a US terrorist drone strike days earlier that martyred the former Commander of Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.

Wow Nice ❤️❤️
Let’s go Iran
It wont be and iran they keep playing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Iran
The world we know is going to end soon . “smash that like button and subscribe for more updates” ..
Finish umm
Both sides are evil for taking their own revenge when vengeance belongs to God.
Men on both sides, who claim to be of faith, speaking of violence.
No one on either side considers forgiveness or reconciliation an option.
May God forgive us, because we’ve forgotten how to forgive.
May cooler heads prevail in our governments.
world war 3
America come together. We got this. Fear. Nothing. Bring it on. We are locked and loaded.
85 people killed sad I found this out before the “news” lol.
Iran is desperately begging for a MOAB
“LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE”
I wish iran should win the game
hope to God. Thankfull

Iran fighting America..
War zone:
Iraq 😐
.
.
.
Really?
Ok. Now what…?
Just to remind your trump, you cannot win multifront wars ahead. China and russia including turkey will take side with iran. Not to mention iraq, syria and lebanon. You already losing ground in post ISIS that you created as your evil scheme in the first place..you are done, uncle sam.
The Vietcongs chased out the Americans only using basic firearms…🤔…
Old men get to start a war…young men get to die in a war.
USA must think twice before going to war with Iran. Which is small rat the 2 big cats are helping this rat one is Russia and other is China.
Usa must think to indirectly fight cats instead wasting power on small rat.
Well done death to America
👍👍👍Iran hates war. But criminal America is looking for war. It brings nations into conflict. It assassinates scientists.
This is to make Trump do what he said and make the us the bad guys. It’s not their retaliation it makes no sense they killed nobody of importance like they vowed to do.
Greytings from Yugoslavia
Great shot
thats why no people trust muslim
rest and peace for this event
BEGINNING OF END OF WORLD,, I’m ready to go stone age after world war 3
Good like lran

Bravo Iran💪 stop fu… g usa fachism… All World have usa!!!
Russians ready 🇷🇺 www3 Open girls 😁
There has been casualties. But they are not reporting it. All arab news agencies reported that there are several hundred U.S. personnel have been killed. All the families of the soldiers have been told not to make it public right away in the event of loosing loved ones !
Trump should be removed from office and bring US troops back home. No one wants to die
Wiiih keren
America gonna hit Iran now. Because they attacked the base in Iraq.
World is fed up with Israel and usa
There is no Doubt that animals are more smart and intelligent than us humans , Soldiers fight for no reason , just for the rich to live their pleasure life , for the rich and politics war is like a game of chess , and they are using soldiers to play and have fun . 👏 well done

America scared. There is no answer to Iran
This people dont think the innocent people must be affected..
See what America’s greed for oil has landed them into 😂
But before the attack usa took there troops to Kuwait ..clever usa
Pray forthe kurds and kurdistan because the base was in Erbil
If your father killed without any reason, what will you do?
Syabas Iran.. May Allah Almighty bless the Iranian people and all the Ummah. Amiin.
America is a most terrorist country in the world.and trump is main terrorist person.
Thank you IRAN. Thank God

الله يستر
🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽All American 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽it received today because of foolhardy 👎🏿Trump 👎🏿
They might be better off throwing rocks…..😂 The Iranian’s have the latest and greatest “Straight Out Of The 1950’s” I think I have some of those things left over from the 4th of July…. Merica 🇺🇲
The missiles missed
Hahaha try again IRAN
Use a nuke.. please
there is no damage on the bases where’s the footage did they miss all their targets and the media is taking it too far like usual
This is just in Poland has surrendered
This target strike is right to Iran against on American air base in Baghdad Donald trump don’t take action again the world want peace war is not🎺
Why America interfere in every country.
رئیس جمهور 🇺🇲 ترامپ اوباما ضعیف نیست. رئیس جمهور 🇺🇲 ترامپ یک جنگجوی توانا است که جهان در مدت زمان بسیار طولانی آن را ندیده است. شما حملات موشکی تقلبی خود را انجام داده اید ، اکنون به عقب برگشته و صلح را انتخاب کنید.
America should leave middle East.situation would be settled
THN WIPE THEM OUT HE WAS A TERRORIST HE DESERVED TO DIE
My self support only USA 🇺🇸
The war could have stopped if Trump could revive General Sulaimani
Good to see this news
Wow!!!
1% of this news is true.
Can’t we just send them Trump and go on with our lives?
Something is going to happen…
Hahaha.. I wonder what the Iranians had hit by those rockets.. it’s more likely Iraqi civilians are dead than u.s personnel..
Good !
Rendition flights, company director kidnapping, putting on Mafia style tariffs on trade and killing foreign nationals at will are all terrorist acts carried out by America on poorer and weaker nations ! It’s got to stop ! Whole world is pleased and supporting Iran in standing up to a bully and it’s cowardly allies !
@SteveHollingsworth first off your the fool and second hope it’s worth it defending this clown
What is the importance of being a leader of every country? Instead of bringing the people for peace, why the others want to brings us in death? Is this the way to become a great and powerful nations. A war to seek revenge? Be a man and act like a man. What Iran strike is a warning. Please bring this talk under diplomacy. Fresh wounds ache but this should be heal in time. I don’t condemn any of this County. I just want them to be smart in every decision they are making. Living in peace with joy and respect in each country is a must to be consider.
Good news for Iran is the Iran over over not good for Iran country they need freedom country and people Iran don’t again very danger country
How imprecise “News” and how cruel, ignorante and stupid responses! May be “the new rude and gross Trump s way of life! How dreadful, anyway!

WHY YOU HATE IRAN AMERICA >?
The war is coming of Jesus for his people.Final days People !!!
Jesus is the only way to heaven !!!!!
His return from heaven will be personal, visible and glorious, a blessed hope for which we should constantly watch and pray.
Before He establishes His kingdom on earth, Jesus will come for His Church, an event commonly referred to as the “Rapture.” At that time the dead in Christ will be raised and living Christians will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air and be with Him forever. In this resurrection, those who have died in Christ will have their redeemed souls and spirits united with a body similar to Christ’s glorified body. Christians living at the time of this event will not die, but will be changed to be like Christ. This expectation is a motivation for holy living, as well as a source of comfort. No man knows the day or the hour when this will take place.
After the Rapture of the Church, Christians will be brought before the judgment seat of Christ. He will reward them on the basis of the works they have accomplished. This is not a judgment to determine their salvation but a reward for labor on Christ’s behalf.
The Rapture will also inaugurate a period that the Bible characterizes as the “great day of His wrath,” “the great tribulation” and the “time of Jacob’s trouble.
This time of unprecedented difficulty will affect Israel and all nations. Its purpose will be to prepare Israel for her Messiah.
At the end of the Tribulation, Jesus Christ will return with the hosts of heaven as well as the Church to establish the Messianic Kingdom on earth. His Kingdom will last for a thousand years. At this Second Coming, the Antichrist will be cast into the Lake of Fire and Satan will be bound for a thousand years. The nations and their representatives will be judged. Israel will be restored to her land, never more to be removed. Christ will reign with firmness and equity. His kingdom will be marked by material and spiritual blessing, since the curse upon the earth will be removed.
The Messianic kingdom will close with apostasy and rebellion.God will crush this uprising in the last battle of the ages and Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire. All those who rejected the Word of God will be resurrected.They will be judged by Christ and cast into the lake of fire, the place where they will suffer final and everlasting punishment.
After this judgment there will be a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness is the norm. There will be a new Jerusalem and the everlasting presence of God among all the redeemed
Repent from your sin , and come to Jesus.
Do today ,because tomorrow can be late.
Fake news.
In your marks ! …. ready, set……gooooo! …..WAR BEGINS!
Iran’s nuclear test gone wrong.
One million people will die
