It's Wednesday, January 8th. Here are the stories we're keeping our eye on:

Iran launches missiles aimed at U.S. bases in Iraq

Overnight, Iran launched more than a dozen missiles aimed at the Al Asad and Erbil airbases which house U.S. troops in Iraq. Iran state TV said the attack was revenge for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani in a targeted U.S. airstrike last week.

US officials are still assessing the damage, though early reports were that no Americans were killed.

Before the attack, President Trump had sent a warning to Iran. "If Iran does anything that they shouldn't be doing, they're going to be suffering the consequences. And very strongly," he said. After the strikes, the president tweeted, "All is well!" and "So far, so good!"
