CNN is reporting Iraqi security officials claim there were no casualties. Trump seems satisfied of no casualties according to his tweet so it may end here but Trump always changes his mind so we don't know forsure.

If it does end here both Trump and Supreme Leader of Iran look like idiots. They were making ridiculous threats.

Trump seems like he wants to sleep then assess the situation the tomorrow. Iran meanwhile is threatening Gulf nations that they will attack them if US fighter jets take off from those Gulf bases in the event of an US response.

A Ukrainian airliner with 180 passengers and crew on board has reportedly crashed near Tehran's Imam Khomeini airport in Iran on Wednesday.
According to the Iranian media, the Boeing 737-800 jet crashed near Parand, a suburb southwest of capital Tehran shortly after take-off.
There were no immediate reports on casualties.
According to Flighradar24 flight tracker, the Ukraine International Airline Flight 752 was scheduled to take off at 5:15am Tehran time heading to Boryspil International Airport in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
The actual departure time was delayed for almost an hour at 6:12am.
A video posted by Iran's ISNA news agency showed a faint glow of light flickering shortly before a huge explosion was seen.

Unclear if technical failure or Iranian AA fire caused this incident but it is sad news nonetheless that no one wants to hear.... It most likely was technical failure of some sort ....

No new developments for now. Trump wanted to sleep and didn't seem disturbed. It's possible the mediators successfully mediated between the US and Iran. And US was willing to accept a symbolic Iranian response.

Now everyone is waiting for Trump to wake up. It's likely he'll tweet sometime around 4 am.

It would be very suspect if 0 americans died. Either it means they're telling lies or the US was warned in advance and had a chance to move it's troops (like how America warned Russia to move it's planes from a base when they bombed Bashar after a chemical attack).

Both Iran and Iraq are fool. They made action based on emotional rather then rational.

Any seniors member also feeling or facing problem on D.Pk fourm Word " Dev site only"?

Pakdef seems to be attacked. Just so coincidence the timing is very match with the event. Or maybe the traffic is too much that make the site cannot function well. Actually if they can handle that, this moment will bring many traffic to their site.

Well US has radars all over the area and can quickly detect these things. There are bomb shelters in the base too. Another thing is some troops have already been moved yesterday. Also Iranian missiles may have missed as well. These are all reasons we can come up with unless we do go with the theory that Iran warned the US beforehand via mediators.

Honestly brother the whole thing was strange. Iranians needed to save face though because it is was a way bigger deal for them that what happened to the Iraqi's. Trump administration strategy is not consistent and not effective, however, which is making lots of people wonder what the next steps will be.

so no thing new happened?

Nothing new has happened. US and Iraqi sources say there are no casualties. However I don't see Iraq stabilizing over the night. There could still be US tensions with Iraqi militias.

so all are good. good attempt for face saving

At the moment it is looking like that and there should be deescalation soon. However, we need to wait till tomorrow as Trump is unpredictable and if people attack him for being weak he may change his mind.
