Several U.S. personnel were injured in what is suspected to be a rocket attack at a military base in Iraq, according to U.S. defense officials on Monday. This incident marks a recent increase in attacks on American forces by militias backed by Iran. The attack comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following the recent killings of a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and Hamas’ top political leader in Iran, reportedly by Israeli strikes. Both Hezbollah and Hamas receive support from Iran. Defense officials noted that troops at al-Asad air base are still evaluating the injuries and damage, with initial reports suggesting that up to seven military personnel and civilians were hurt. Iraqi security officials have confirmed the attack, though no group has yet claimed responsibility.

This follows a strike on a base in Jordan in late January that killed three American soldiers and led to retaliatory U.S. strikes. Between October and January, a group named the Islamic Resistance in Iraq regularly claimed attacks, citing retaliation for U.S. support of Israel in its conflict with Hamas in Gaza and aiming to drive U.S. troops out of the region.
