Iranian missile strikes against bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq highlight the “growing threat” of Iran’s missile program, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Jan. 8.

More than a dozen missiles were launched at two or more bases late Tuesday, the Pentagon said. Officials haven’t said if any Americans were killed or injured.
