Tehran retaliated to Washington's killing of its top military commander late Tuesday, launching more than a dozen ballistic missiles targeted at U.S. military forces in Iraq. It was not immediately clear whether any U.S. service members were harmed in the attacks. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif said via Twitter that "we do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression."
"All is well!" President Donald Trump tweeted, adding that an assessment of casualties was taking place.
