Al Asad air base attacked

At least five U.S. personnel were injured in a rocket attack at the Al-Asad airbase in Iraq, with one service member reported to be seriously injured. The attack involved two Katyusha rockets, and U.S. officials are investigating whether it is linked to heightened tensions following the recent assassinations of senior Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. Iran has vowed retaliation, asserting that the U.S. shares responsibility for these killings due to its support for Israel. In response, the U.S. is bolstering its military presence in the region and has been in discussions with Iraqi officials to address the escalating threats. President Biden and Vice President Harris received updates on the situation, emphasizing the U.S. commitment to defend its forces. The incident raises concerns about a potential wider conflict involving Iran and its allied militias across the region.
