Ben Williams vox, how much damage did these missiles do last night?

So we don't yet know the damage to the facilities themselves.

The U.S. military and the Iraqis are still figuring that out and they haven't really made

anything clear on that.

But we do know about casualties and according to NATO forces who are part of the coalition

that's involved there with the U.S. according to the U.S. and according to the Iraqi Prime

Minister, there were no casualties among any of the U.S. troops, any of the Iraqi forces

who were there or any of the international forces.

Is it still a big deal that Iran chose to launch these ballistic missiles?

The fact that they decided to fire ballistic missiles from Iran is a very important point

as opposed to as opposed to using their proxy groups, these like Shia militia groups that

are backed by Iran inside Iraq.
