Trump retreats from war with Iran It's been an extraordinary 24 hours of news out of the Middle East, which culminated Wednesday with Trump's address from the White House, in which he appeared to back away from the precipice of war with Iran. How we got here: - Iran strikes back. Early Wednesday, a total of 16 ballistic missiles targeted two military bases in Iraq that house U.S. forces in what Iran called "fierce revenge" for the death of Qassem Soleimani.
- Jetliner crash. Not long after, a Boeing 737 bound for Kiev crashed after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 passengers. Officials pointed to technical issues and said there was no apparent link to the strikes.
- U.S. backs away. Later, Trump said Iran "appears to be standing down" and that no Americans died in the strikes. He vowed to never let Iran obtain nuclear weapons and announced new sanctions.
- Congress briefed. After the speech, top White House officials held classified briefings with U.S. House and Senate members to lay out the justification for the Soleimani drone strike.
- Restraining Trump. Unconvinced by their reasoning, Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote Thursday on a resolution to limit Trump's war powers on Iran.
