What We Know: Iran's Missile Strike Against The U.S. In Iraq
Updated at 3:10 p.m. ET
Details are still emerging about Iran's ballistic missile attack on Iraqi bases housing American military forces, which set off rampant speculation about a potential U.S. response. But President Trump suggested Wednesday that any U.S. action would be economic, not military.
"Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned — and a very good thing for the world," Trump said.
Iran reportedly targeted at least two military bases in strikes launched less than a week after a U.S. drone attack in Baghdad that killed Iranian military commander Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Here's a recap of what we know about the strikes, reactions to the attack and what's next:
Where did the attacks hit, and were there any casualties?
The U.S. Iran fired "more than a dozen ballistic missiles" at military bases in Ain al-Assad, northwest of Baghdad, and in Irbil, in the semiautonomous Kurdish region.
