CNN reports Iran launched more than a dozen missiles at two Iraqi bases that hold US troops in what appears to be retaliation for the American airstrike that killed a top Iranian general last week.
A US official told CNN that there were no initial reports of any US casualties, but an assessment of the impact of the strikes is underway.
There are casualties among the Iraqis at Ain al-Asad airbase following the attack.
The number of casualties and whether the individuals were killed or wounded is not immediately clear.
The attack comes days after the US killed top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
The administration has sought to cast that strike as an attempt to de-escalate tensions with Iran, but Tehran has vowed revenge for the killing, which it says was an "act of war" and "state terrorism."
