Several US personnel were injured August 5th at Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, a US defense official said.
“We can confirm that there was a suspected rocket attack today against US and Coalition forces at Al-Asad Airbase, Iraq,” the official said. US officials have long blamed attacks on troops in Iraq and Syria on Iran-backed militia groups.
This comes just days after Secretary Austin ordered additional military assets to the region, sending a carrier strike group, a fighter squadron and additional warships to the Middle East.
On the other side, Russia has started sending advanced air defense systems and radar equipmant to Iran.
The US and Russia are now firmly in the middle of this conflict.
Would you like to see the US do everything possible to negotiate a way out of this conflict rather gearing up for military action?
