According to the BBC, two military bases in Iraq, where the forces of the United States and its allies are stationed, were bombarded by Iran. Tehran said that this is revenge for the assassination of General Suleymani. The Pentagon's chief spokesman, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Relations, Jonathan Hoffman, said more than a dozen ballistic missiles were fired at US bases in al-Assad and Erbil. "Obviously, these missiles were fired from Iran and were aimed at at least two Iraqi military bases that host US military and coalition personnel in Al-Assad and Erbil," Hoffman said.
In turn, US President Donald Trump promised to make a statement following the results of Iran's missile attack. "It's alright! The rockets were launched from Iran at two military bases in Iraq. Now there is an assessment of whether there are victims, and the amount of damage. But all is well! .. I will make a statement tomorrow morning, "he wrote on Twitter.
