Over a dozen ballistic missiles were fired at two military Iraqi bases that house American troops early Wednesday in retaliation for Iranian General Qassem Soleimani’s death according to Iranian state TV.

Assistant to the Secretary fo Defense for Public Affairs Jonathon Hoffman said in a statement, “It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S. military and coalition personnel at Al Asad and Irbil. We are working on initial battle damage assessments.” He added over a dozen missiles were fired.

“These bases have been on high alert due to indications that the Iranian regime planned to attack our forces and interests in the region,” said Hoffman.

President Trump also confirmed the missile attacks via Twitter. “All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning,” the president tweeted.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the attack calling it “Operation Martyr Soleimani” on Iran state media: “In Operation Martyr Suleimani in early hours of Wednesday, tens of ground-to-ground missiles were fired at the U.S. base and successfully pounded the al Asad base. The brave soldiers of IRGC’s aerospace unit have launched a successful attack with tens of ballistic missiles on Al Assad military base in the name of martyr Gen. Qasem Soleimani… We warn all allied countries of the U.S. that if attacks are launched from bases in their countries on Iran, they will be a target of military retaliation.”

Foreign Minister of Islamic Republic of Iran Javad Zarif tweeted, “Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched. We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.”

NBC News Tehran Bureau Chief Ali Arouzi falsely reported 30 U.S. soldiers were killed in the missile attack.
