Tehran has tonight launched missile attack on two US bases in Iraq housing US and coalition troops, defense sources have revealed.

The Al Asad airbase in western Iraq - where Trump visited in December 2018 - was reported to have been hit by 35 missiles fired from inside Iran.

And a US site in Erbil, in Iraqi Kurdistan, which provides facilities and services to at least hundreds of coalition personnel and CIA operatives, was also hit.

Iranian state TV said 'tens' of surface-to-surface missiles were launched Tuesday by the Revolutionary Guard's aerospace division that controls the country's missile program.

They reported the operation's name was 'Martyr Soleimani' - named after the general killed in a US drone strike.

The Pentagon confirmed the attacks in a statement.

'At approximately 5.30pm (EST) on January 7, Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq.'
