A rocket attack targeted the Al-Asad airbase that hosts US, Iraqi and coalition forces in Iraq, officials say. There are no reports of casualties or damage.

The Al-Asad airbase was struck by grad missiles, Iraqi officials said earlier Wednesday. There are no reports of casualties or damage, and no group immediately claimed responsibility.The rocket launcher was found in the al-Bayader agricultural area near the town of al-Baghdadi, about 180 kilometers northwest of Baghdad, military sources told CNN. Sabereen news, a pro-Shia militia group, published images on its Telegram page claiming to show the launcher that attacked the base.

The attack came just less than a week after the US military struck a site in Syria used by two Iranian-backed militia groups in response to rocket attacks on American forces in the region in recent weeks, which was the US military's first known action under President Joe Biden.

The exit door is south and wide open

leave it to peacemakers Sleepy Joe and Kalifornia Kamala to escalate things

The best way to avoid US forces in Iraq being subjected to rocket attacks is to not have US forces in Iraq.

The terrorist government of Iran wants to bring the United States and its allies to the negotiating table by threatening and using force. Iran is seeking ransom by attacking US bases in Iraq. Europe and the United States must put pressure on Iran by extending sanction.

Obama buddies shooting at US troops

We call for the withdrawal of US troops, not from Iraq, but the entire region. Thank you to the Iraqis for the missile strike

It’s well past time for US to remove all troops from the Middle East. All of them. And also to stop supplying arms to the Middle East. Enough already

You notice that the Middle East were having peace talks until Dems stepped in.

So I would be looking at Israel right about now since thinking that Iran is capable of this much self sabotage is a difficult pill to swallow.
