Iran's missile attack on Iraqi military bases hosting US troops has raised questions over Iraq's sovereignty and reflected Tehran's deep-rooted influence over Baghdad.

Iran fired more than a dozen missiles at two Iraqi military bases early on Wednesday morning. The US Pentagon confirmed that the missiles hit the Ain al-Assad airbase in Anbar Province and a facility near Erbil's airport in northern Iraq.

WNU Editor: From the Iraqi perspective, two of their bases were hit by Iran, even though the international media's focus is on the few US and coalition troops that are there.

You can take this to the bank. This attack is only going to fuel the anti-Iranian resentment that already exists there.
