Iran state TV says Tehran has launched missiles at Iraq's air base housing US troops
The apparent retaliation follows the U.S. killing of Iran's top general, Qasem Soilemani, in early January. Tensions in the Middle East rose following his death, and the U.S. braced for a response.
Meanwhile, Trump has said that Soleimani was planning a big attack. He also told reporters in the Oval Office that a lot of lives were saved by killing Soleimani. The U.S., he said, is prepared for possible retaliation by Iran. Protracted tensions could also upend global energy markets, as Iran is one of the largest oil producers in the world.
