Iran said it launched more than dozen missiles against U.S. targets on Wednesday (January 8) in retaliation for the killing of Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike last week.

Khamenei addressed a gathering of Iranians chanting "Death to America".

U.S. President Donald Trump, who ordered the drone strike that killed General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Friday, gave an initial response on Twitter: "All is well!".

Casualties and damage from the missile attacks were being assessed and Trump said he would make a statement on Wednesday.
