US President Donald Trump is considering options for responding to the Iranian missile attack on bases housing American personnel, Fox News reported on Wednesday. Trump previously held a meeting with his national security team at the White House, but no official statement followed.

On Wednesday night, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the launch of a retaliatory operation for the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani. Surface-to-surface missiles were fired from Iran at the Ein al-Asad air base in western Iraq and a base in Erbil, where a US military contingent is stationed.
