January 07, 2020 "Information Clearing House" -  Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has targeted the US airbase of Ain al-Assad in Anbar province in western Iraq after vowing to retaliate the US assassination of top Iranian anti-terror commander, Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

“Tens of surface-to-surface missiles” were fired at the strategic airbase and the attack was later confirmed by the US officials.

The IRGC added that it would release more details about the strike.

Sirens were reportedly heard and American helicopters flew over the airbase and the total alert was activated.
