[/QUOTE]The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran reportedly confirmed their missiles struck a US base in western Iraq, calling it revenge for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani and warning more strikes might be coming.

Or, something to blame on Iran to provoke a more "serious" retaliation, against Iran.Many conflicting reports about Iran’s missiles, but it’s starting to look like it was a operation for ‘saving face’.
