Already on Saturday, rockets and mortar shells were being launched against US targets in Baghdad and Mosul, although no one was physically injured in any of the attacks.

Iran has vowed to avenge the death of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in Iraq in a US air strike in the early hours of Friday morning.
