President Donald Trump reacted to a series of missile strikes on American targets in Iraq on Tuesday.
“All is well!” Trump wrote, noting that the United States was still assessing casualties and damages at the two military bases attacked in Iraq. “So far, so good!”
The Pentagon confirmed Tuesday evening that Iran launched more than a dozen missiles against the United States military in Iraq but did not report any American casualties.
Trump again reminded the world that the United States had the most powerful military in the world.
“We have the most powerful and well-equipped military anywhere in the world, by far!” he wrote.
