Iran launched accurate guided missiles against 2 bases in Iraq.

Iran used the precision guidance system to narrowly miss the US side of the bases. While also playing the optics for domestic audience by warning Israel and other US allies in region.

This gesture offers US the opportunity to say that no Americans were harmed in the strike and therefore de-escalate with just a warning.

US is clear winner in this exchange by assassinating 2nd in command of Iran with no casualties of their own. Only thing left now is for Trump to announce in the morning that all is well.

Its very unlikely that there will be any retaliation. Trump will probably let them have their face saving scenario with maybe some drones or helicopters damaged.

US already got the jackpot which Sulaimani who was being groomed to be the next Supreme Leader.

If rag tag militias can kill 1000s of US soldiers, organized Iranian backed proxy groups can do a lot worse & they will. Look what Hizbullah did with Israel. This might be face-saving exercise as going front on against US will only hurt Iran. They make US bleed by thousand cuts.

Looks like Iran fired homeopathic missiles for face saving.

What Iran achieved by missile attack?
Iran is not a fool. This is a part of big game.

May be but such a scenario would only be likely if someone , mainly France or Germany , have brokered a behind the scene deal between US and Iran in which the "missile attacks" were scripted for Iran's face saving. Let all the details surface and it shall become clear. What i am sure of is that if there are US causalities , Trump won't spare Iran

Missiles hit areas of al-Asad base not populated by Americans
From CNN's Ryan Browne and Pamela Brown

The initial assessment is that the Iranian missiles struck areas of the al-Asad base not populated by Americans, according to a US military official and a senior administration official.
Officials have said the US is awaiting daylight to get a full assessment of the results of the strike.
Earlier, an Iraqi security source told CNN that there were casualties among the Iraqis at the base.
