Iran announces rocket strikes at Soleimani burial

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Wednesday (January 8) announced the attacks on US bases in Iraq at the funeral of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the country's elite Quds Force.

Iran launched missile attacks on U.S.-led forces in retaliation for the U.S. drone strike which killed Soleimani and raised fears of a wider war in the Middle East.

The crowd of mourners chanted "death to Israel, death to England" after General Ramezan Sharif told them of the attacks.
