Reports from Fox News in USA from military contacts in theatre - IRBM or cruise missiles from Iran - not just unguided rockets reported earlier - fired at US facilities in Iraq - incl Al Assad AB.

And so it begins.
Photos on Twitter already.
Videos also of at least six launches appearing to be from Iran and reports of at least 30 strikes.
All very fluid and lots of misinformation flying around at the moment.

Just a note of caution that some of the circulating images are from 2017 and others are dated Jan 3 2020. Regardless, fingers crossed for all on the receiving end.

From US DoD: more than 12 - possibly up to 30 - IRBM fired at Al Assad AB.
Military correspondents on Twitter stating Fateh 110 - has 650 Kg warhead - so similar to Scud C.

Why are civilian aircraft with pax on board still flying along the Iran-Iraq border ? Even for airlines based in countries that have good relations with Iran (e.g. Qatar Airways) I would have thought that pilots as well as airline management would want to keep their aircraft well away from any area with heavy duty missile activity

What will the Iraqi's have to say about Iran attacking its bases with Missiles from Iran Territory?
That does pose a legitimate question.....of course the pro-Iranian segment of the Iraqi Government will have naught to say....but the opposing faction should call foul!
It reminds us of how complicated the whole situation is in the area.

Iran threatens to attack inside America if US responds to missile attacks
In its Telegram channel, Iranian Revolutionary Guard says the “Pentagon reports that the US will respond to Iran’s attacks.”
IRGC then says in a footnote, “This time we will respond to you in America”
