After Tuesday's missile attack, Trump told the nation 'all is well.'
Ayn al-Asad Air Base and other areas in and around Erbil, a city in Iraqi Kurdistan, were hit with missiles launched from Iran Tuesday. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was an act of retaliation for the death of Quds Force commander Major General Qassem Soleiman, who was killed last week in a U.S. drone strike.
After the missile strike, Trump wrote on Twitter that an assessment of casualties and damages was taking place on Tuesday evening but everything was,"so far, so good!" He added that America has the"most powerful and well-equipped military in the world."
