US forces: Rockets hit airbase in Iraq hosting US troops

The rockets struck Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province at 7:20 a.m., spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto said.

Later, the Iraqi military released a statement saying the attack did not cause significant losses and that security forces had found the launch pad used for the missiles. It was the first attack since the U.S. struck Iran-aligned militia targets along the Iraq-Syria border last week, stoking fears of a possible repeat of a series of tit-for-tat attacks that escalated last year, culminating in the U.S.-directed strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani outside the Baghdad airport.' is scheduled to visit Iraq in a much anticipated trip that will include Baghdad, southern Iraq and in the northern city of Irbil.

The U.S. strike along the border had been in response to a spate of rocket attacks that targeted the American presence, including one that killed a coalition contractor from the Philippines outside the Irbil airport. After that attack, the Pentagon said the strike was a “proportionate military response” taken after consulting coalition partners.

More escalation, why can't we seem to pull out of Iraq? Every administration we get seems to have some bs reason why we need to endanger more American soldiers.

Bring our troops home! Quit saving corporate ass! And calling it Democracy! Bring our troops home!

seems someone is testing the biden water..if he starts a war will the lefties be defending him or calling him a warmonger? i know if it was trump they would say he was hungry for war even though he never started a war.

30 yr war insanity

Iraqui or American military base ? Is that sample of desinformation hybrid campaign ?

After US🇺🇸destroyed livelihoods, infrastructure in addition to displaced & killed thousands of Iraqis🇮🇶. Today, the Iraqi🇮🇶people want the occupier🇺🇸US troops to LEAVE.

Yer ok im not going to tolerate that

Don’t be mad when we retaliate

No fear. Biden will ignite a war!!!

Democrats and the bad deals they made ... now war .. cleaning up from the trash Obama Administration ..

They wouldn't dare it during Trump... He will bomb all their historical sites and assasinate all their generals... Trump was feared in the middle East.. not so much for Biden

Cheyom1 Retaliation for the attack last week by US against Iranian military I would presume.

Uncle Joe Will Answer Force
