The sirens were blaring in Baghdad tonight as two missiles targeting the embassy there were fired off by the Iranians.
But their missiles are very accurate, so they make want to make a statement without getting bombed back into the Stone Age.
Iraqi officials say one missile hit outside the walled enclosure and one landed inside. The Green Zone is the high-security area where the embassy is located.
There have been no reports as of yet of any casualties or injuries resulting from the missiles.
A pair of Katyusha rockets then struck the Al-Balad Air Force Base just above the capital. No word on any damages there or casualties.
Last night the Iranians hit two targets resulting in no casualties, and very little property damage.
The base sent out surveillance drones in order to find the source of the rockets.
This may be the new norm for the next week or until a rocket is errant and actually kills soldiers.
Then you will see president Trump move into action. But he seems to be patient with the limited attacks from Tuesday night.
Soleimani was one of the most popular figures in Iran and was seen as a deadly adversary by the US and its allies. Top Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, an adviser to Soleimani, was also killed in the attack on Friday.
Thousands of people marched in Baghdad on Saturday to mourn Soleimani and others killed in the air strike, with marchers waving Iraqi and militia flags in a sombre atmosphere. Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and militia commander Hadi al-Amiri, a close Iran ally and the top candidate to succeed Muhandis, attending the procession.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “severe revenge” after the attack. “Martyrdom was the reward for his ceaseless efforts in all these years,” Khamenei said on his Farsi-language Twitter account in reference to Soleimani.
