Original Note:
NNN the above note is incorrect- the attack on U.S air base Ain al-Asad & the Harir Air Base was IN RETALIATION for the killing of Major General Qasem Soleimani. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND as above note claims. Trump chose to stand down & not escalate retaliation. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/08/world/middleeast/trump-speech.html https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-claims-responsibility-for-multiple-attacks-in-iraq-including-air-base-with-u-s-troops/30365437.html
