WASHINGTON, Jan 8 (NNN-AGENCIES) — President Donald Trump said that initial casualty assessments indicated “all is well” after Iranian missiles targeted two bases housing US troops in Iraq.
He tweeted that “assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!”
Trump did not go on evening television to address the nation — something of an informal presidential tradition in times of foreign policy crisis — in the immediate hours following Iran’s missile strikes.
However, he said to expect a statement early Wednesday in Washington.
“I will be making a statement Wednesday morning,” he said. — NNN-AGENCIES
