Iran State TV Says 80 'American Terrorists' Killed in Missile Strikes

At least 80 ‘American terrorists’ were killed in Iranian missile attacks on U.S. targets in Iraq, according to Iran’s state TV.

Following a retaliatory Iranian missile attack on U.S.-led forces, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted, “All is well! missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!”

He also added that he will deliver a statement on the incident Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile, the White House released a statement about the Iranian attack saying that US President Donald Trump is monitoring the situation.

Moreover, the Pentagon said in a statement: “It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S. military and coalition personnel at Al-Assad and Irbil.”

“We are working on initial battle damage assessments,” the Pentagon went on saying.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it would ban US carriers from operating in the airspace over Iraq, Iran, the Gulf of Oman and the waters between Iran and Saudi Arabia following the Iranian attacks.

It is worth mentioning that, Iran launched missile attacks on two Iraqi military bases hosting U.S.-led coalition personnel in revenge for the U.S. killing last week of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani.
