Iran launched missiles at U.S led forces in Iraq today, retaliating for the U.S drone strike on an Iranian commander whose killing, last week, stoked fears of a new Middle East war.

Addressing Iranians who chanted “Death to America”, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed that the missile attack was a “slap on the face” of the United States and that U.S troops should leave the region.

Iranian state television affirmed that Iran fired 15 missiles at U.S targets.
