President Trump said no Americans or Iraqis were hurt in an Iranian missile attack on two military bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq, and said Iran "appears to be standing down" in the explosive confrontation between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic.

"I'm pleased to inform you, the American people should be extremely grateful and happy. No Americans were harmed in last night's attack by the Iranian regime," the president said in an address to the nation from the White House on Wednesday. "We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases."

Flanked by the vice president, defense secretary, secretary of state and military leaders in the grand foyer of the White House, Mr. Trump announced the U.S. will "immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions" against Iran. He also said he would ask NATO allies to become "much more involved" in the Middle East.

"Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism," Mr. Trump declared, calling on European allies to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
