People need to stop posting about American casualties.

NONE have been reported per CNN or MSNBC.

only sources I can find since then, are Iranian State tv. I wouldn't just put numbers out there, plus I said it wasn't confirmed.

That does not happen without casualties.

There is a cover up on Casualties at this point IMHO.

There has been no independent confirmation.

It would be helpful if posters confirmed reports with legit sources before making these types of claims.

They shouldn't be publishing those. I'm down with waiting until we get reliable reports.

sonething like two days for news that an active duty US service member and an American working for a contractor had been killed.

Hopefully soldiers at the base in Iraq took precautions, this situation has been brewing for several days, it was not like the attack in Africa, which seemed to have been a surprise.

There are no casualties to report.

Can you provide a link to these reporters on the ground who informed of these casualties? Are they the same ones who confirmed a missile landing in the green zone?

Let's hope the situation simmers down instead of series of retaliations which could turn into full scale war.
Good to see Iran declared there will be no more retaliations, this missile attack was the only retaliation.

It sounds to me like both sides are keeping their domestic audiences happy while trying to de-escalate.

Iran doesn't want a war with us, they would get wiped off the map and they know it. But they had to retaliate for the general killing somehow to appear strong.
