Iranian BMs were launched at Ain Assad: Fars News

If bases are not hit, there are likely no casualties, unless US soldiers were sleeping outside of the bases and Iran exactly knew the target positions.
 
With this report of actually 10 missiles (not Iran’s claimed 35) hitting Al-Assad Airbase and the reports that US troops received the launch warning and entered bomb shelters, coupled with the vast size of the airbase, it’s not all that surprising there may be no US casualties...

A CENTCOM spokesperson confirmed to me that Iran fired 15 missiles: 10 struck Al Asad airbase west of Baghdad, Iraq; one struck Erbil in northern Iraq; and four failed.

The ballistic missile attack makes no sense if this engagement distances more than a couple of hundreds kilometers. Both technical reasons (this includes NATO's missile defense) and political message differs(to the world), which weakens this possibility. There's a lot of information pollution.
 
Lol what revenge. No apparant damage to US forces. Waste of missiles barrage. Iranian posters here have been claiming that atleast 2 US bases in Iraq has been flattened to dust.

No casualties is different from no damage. The damage is likely in the hundreds of millions of dollars if Pentagon said 10 made direct hits. Planes/buildings/etc.

That base cost billions to build.
 
Your analysis has merit. But America will not want to leave the country until a Kurdish state is created which suits Israel's interests. Furthermore, leaving Iraq would mean the Russians and the Chinese will fill that position through Iran. Chaos is happening across the Middle East because Israel doesn't want to see a united front. It uses America to achieve its aim. I could be wrong. Nonetheless, war isn't good for America. We have an election in 2020 and most hedge fund managers in Wall Street are calling out a market crash in the next 6 months. Some are predicting it to be worse than in 2008.

market crash wont happen during election year.. US government has pumped in billion of $ in federal spend to boost economy. lending has been easier. manufacturing came fown crashing but on a sustainable path.. its holding steady.. global outlook has slowed due and the fall has stopped.. american interest rate are low..

if trump backed down it willl br only because amefican exonomy is fragile and he will oil prices crises, since i mentioned manufacturing is rebounding, any change in oil prices will crash US economy and trump will lose election.

Assuming there truly was no casualty, you think that's because Iran failed?
There were casulaties, just Iraqi casualties. At most, US personnel were injured.

The fact that Iran killed Iraqi personnel is a failure in and of itself.
