Following the missile strikes launched by Iranian government to target US troops in Iraq, the United States Government has declared that there was no American casualty recorded from the strikes that struck its air bases in Al Asad and Erbil in Iraq.
This comes after Iranian government claimed that it killed 80 Americans in the attack on US’ Iraqi airbase.
Iran alleged that over 100 other targets in the region are in Iran’s sight and will subsequently be attacked if Washington took any retaliatory measures and further disclosed that US helicopters and military equipment were “severely damaged” in the strikes.
While reacting on the missile strikes in a speech broadcast live on state television, Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said a “slap in the face” was delivered to the US after the attack. “Last night, a slap in the face was delivered,”
In a new development, an official of the United States Pentagon denied the report and disclosed that Iranians deliberately aimed to miss the Americans.
There are speculations that this misfire influenced President Donald Trump’s tweet where he stated that all is well.
President Donald Trump tweeted; “So far so good, all is well”.
“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”.
