Within the past 24 hours, Iran-backed groups have launched attacks on a total of four bases housing U.S. troops in the Middle East, as confirmed by a senior U.S. military official.
The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance claimed responsibility for an attack on Monday targeting U.S. and coalition forces at the Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq, as reported by NBC News. Fortunately, the rocket strikes did not lead to any casualties or damage to infrastructure.
In addition to Ain al-Asad, three other bases in the region were also subjected to attacks, according to the senior military official. The Pentagon has not yet provided further details in response to inquiries.
