President Trump is addressing the nation on Wednesday after Iran launched missile strikes against U.S. military and coalition forces in Iraq in apparent retaliation for the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian military commander.
Watch his remarks from the White House live.
“All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq,” Trump said in a tweet late Tuesday. “Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!”
A U.S. official told NPR that there was no initial indication of any American casualties from the Iranian attack.
Initial satellite images of Ain al Assad Air Base, in Western Iraq, suggested that Iran’s strike targeted aircraft repair shelters and other such facilities.
It wasn’t immediately clear what kind of effect the damage might have on American military capabilities in Iraq, but the United States has other air bases and vast forces arrayed around the Middle East.

A mazing speech of Trump
Trump is a wise President and a good faith. He dose not want to go war and kill many people , he wants peace.
But he chose to kill a terrorist leader ( Sulaiman cs) instead of going war with Iran. He succeed it —Thank God !
Again and again God help America. God bless America. 👍❤️
