A Ukrainian passenger plane has crashed near Tehran airport. The Ukrainian Interior Ministry says all 180 people on board were killed. In neighboring Iraq two American military bases are hit by dozens of airstrikes, as Iran responds to the killing of its top general, who was assassinated in a US drone strike last week. However, Tehran says it's not looking for a war with Washington. 'All is well' - that's how Donald Trump responds to the attacks, saying he will make a statement later. Previously the US president threatened to destroy multiple Iranian sites, including cultural, if Iran retaliated in anyway.
