A rocket attack on the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq injured multiple US personnel, the Pentagon reported. This incident adds to ongoing regional tensions, particularly amid fears of an Iranian counterattack on Israel following recent escalations. The base, housing American and coalition troops, was hit by several rockets, with some landing inside the base and others in a nearby village. President Biden and Vice President Harris have been briefed on the attack, with steps being taken to safeguard forces and respond as necessary. This attack follows increased hostility from Iran-aligned groups.
