But at this point, it appears that there were no U.S. casualties and that it may have been more about Iran putting on a big show to save face.

Here’s what President Donald Trump has to say about it, that so far in their assessment, no U.S. casualties.

“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! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.”

Here’s Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister:

“Iran took & concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under Article 51 of UN Charter targeting base from which cowardly armed attack against our citizens & senior officials were launched.

We do not seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression.”

Reports are that they are saying if there is no retaliation back that they will stop.

So now comes the question of what if any response comes next?
