No U.S. or Iraqi Military Casualties Reported after Iranian Missile Strikes
(CNN) Nicole Gaouette - No U.S. or Iraqi casualties were reported after Tuesday's Iranian missile strikes on two Iraqi bases that hold U.S. troops. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said the attacks were "hard revenge" for the death of Qasem Soleimani. The IRGC said, "To the Great Satan...we warn that if you repeat your wickedness or take any additional movements or make additional aggression, we will respond with more painful and crushing responses." A U.S. military official told CNN the military had enough warning of the launches that they had time to sound alarms, enabling people in harm's way to get to safety.
