No American Casualties in Iran Missiles Attack on US Bases in Iraq
Information reaching iDONSABI says there is no American casualty in the missiles attack launched by Iran on the US facilities in Iraq.
According to reports, the US had envisaged a retaliatory attack. They had therefore moved out its personnel out of the bases with Iraq nationals being the victims.

We also gathered that President Donal Trump will not be addressing the press over the recent development as expected. This could be because there was no American casualty.
Below are some tweets from reacting to the happenings in the region.

Apparent break in the military action for the moment. Confirmed 3 targets hit in Iraq: Al Asad, Taji, & the US consulate in Erbil. No American casualties reported so far. Iran is threatening to escalate their attacks into other countries if the US retaliates.

As usual, Iran is inside Iraq to kill Iraqis. This is why Iraqis don’t want US Forces to leave! https://t.co/eIZ1O9mFdY

Iran has the right to self-defense under international law. If you don’t like Iran exercising this right and striking US military bases:
1) Don’t commit acts of war against Iran
2) End the illegal US occupation of Iraq
3) Remove US military bases which aggressively encircle Iran— Ajit Singh (@ajitxsingh) January 8, 2020

A CENTCOM spokesperson confirmed to me that Iran fired 15 missiles: 10 struck Al Asad airbase west of Baghdad, Iraq; one struck Erbil in northern Iraq; and four failed.

“U.S. radar was able to track the missiles in flight and, as a result, personnel at the base were able to take cover before they were hit.” A U.S. official said four of the 15 Iranian missiles failed in flight, @DavidCloudLAT reports: https://t.co/bVXjFgu4Ja

I’m paying attention to events in Iraq & keeping U.S. personnel, partners & civilians close in my thoughts.
We MUST de-escalate immediately or even more American lives will be at risk.
Congress must, in a bipartisan way, reassert our authority & choose diplomacy—not war. https://t.co/M4N9DONcCL

No US casualties reported yet, says US official. A total of 15 Iranian missiles hit al Asad and Irbil. 10 struck al Asad and only 1 hit Irbil. 4 blew up in flight. US was tracking the launches and personnel at the bases had advanced warning, giving them time to take cover.
