President Donald Trump says "All is well!" after more than a dozen Iranian missiles were fired at two bases housing US troops in Iraq.
Trump tweets that casualty and damage assessments are ongoing but adds, "So far, so good!"
He says he will be making a statement on the strikes Wednesday morning.
Iranian state TV says the missile strikes were retaliation for the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qasem Soleimani, whose death last week in an American drone strike near Baghdad prompted angry calls to avenge his slaying.
