Pentagon confirms Iran fired 'more than a dozen' missiles at US troops in Iraq, an apparent retaliation for the death of Qasem Soleimani

"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-Assad and Irbil," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said.
