Iran says missile attacks in retaliation for Soleimani's death

Iran's Revolutionary Guard said the attack on two air bases in Iraq, at Ain al-Asad and Irbil, housing U.S. troops was in retaliation for the killing of General Qasem Soleimani. 

"We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted," it said via a statement carried by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency.

Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone attack near Baghdad airport on Friday.
