Iran Wednesday, in the first move in the international terror chess board after the US ordered the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, attacked at least two US military bases in Iraq. This was done through firing several missiles towards the bases. Assessment of casualties are still ongoing though it has been estimated by Tehran that about thirty people died.

Besides this, a Ukrainian Boeing 737 with 180 passengers on board crashed in Iran with reports of no survivors and speculations of possible terrorism connection, and a Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake shook the south west part of the country the same day that several US Aircrafts reportedly left the Airbase of Iraq minutes after the strike. Iran, through their local media, has claimed that more than 30 American soldiers have been killed. CNN, however, reports that the casualties are Iraqi soldiers, not American.
