WW3 devastation: The terrifying moment Iran’s missiles attacked US airbase released – Express.co.uk

Iranian state television has now released a video of what it says is a ballistic missile attack launched at US military forces in Iraq. The Pentagon has confirmed that missiles were launched from Iran. The missiles targeted at least two Iraqi military bases which hosted American soldiers and coalition personnel.

The two bases were al-Asad and Erbil.

The attack comes just days after the US confirmed it killed General Qassem Suleimani.

Suleimani was the head of Irans elite Quds force.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards claim the attack was in retaliation to the assassination of the Iranian general.

The video shows missiles being fired into the night sky, leaving trails of smoke.

US officials released a statement that more than a dozen ballistic missiles were fired at US troops at two Iraqi bases.

At the present time they are working on initial battle damage assessments.

Although no official report has yet been released on the number of fatalities, it is expected to have had a major impact upon the bases.
