Rocket Attack on US Base in Iraq Injures Five American Personnel, Marked as 'Dangerous Escalation'
Aug 6, 2024, 09:01 AM
A rocket attack on the al-Asad airbase in Iraq on Monday night injured five American personnel, including one seriously. The attack, which occurred around 10:30 pm local time, has been attributed to Iranian proxies, though no group has officially claimed responsibility. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have labeled the incident a 'dangerous escalation' amid heightened regional tensions between Iran and Israel. This marks the first attack to harm US troops in Iraq since February. The Pentagon confirmed the involvement of Iran-aligned militias in the attack, which adds to the already volatile situation in the region.
