Thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo. We know that Iran has struck multiple American bases.

We are awaiting a full report of any casualties. That information may determine what happens next

on both sides. We just got word of something that may be a good sign that there may be less

coming next. We have that. Welcome to Primetime.

This is CNN Breaking News. Our two air bases in Iraq that house US troops have come under attack.

Iran has claimed responsibility directly. Now, according to the Pentagon, more than a dozen

ballistic missiles were launched at Al Assad and Arab-Bill bases around 5.30 pm Eastern time.

You're looking at video that was released of those missiles on launch. A key point.

Early reports suggested that these missiles may have been launched locally by Iranian proxies.

That would have been a less extreme step, but no, that is not the case. Defense department officials

say it is clear they were launched from Iran and retaliation to the air strike that killed a

top Iranian general last week. That means at a minimum, those missiles traveled about 800 miles

from here in Erbil to the closest border in Iran, if that's where they came from, and at the

second base, a little bit more about 900 miles. Now, the distance was greater, obviously,

than what would happen if you shot them locally. But these were more sophisticated missiles.

That means that they had better targeting systems. That means they could be more precise.

And that leads us to an interesting question in a moment. But here's more information about what we

know. Two missiles hit in Erbil. One in the airport, the international airport there. The report

is it did not explode. Another landed outside the city. No injuries reported from that one. Now,

U.S. military reports that it saw missiles being organized in Iran, loaded, taken out of the

garrisons, put onto the launching devices, and ready for launch. A question that arises, why didn't

the U.S. strike at them then? That is interesting and complicated, and we can answer it tonight,
