The Ain al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, where US troops are stationed, was attacked by rockets.
The report predicts more attacks on American troops in the Middle East following the attack on the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq. The information was provided to Axios, citing a senior US official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The U.S. Defense Department expects frequent attacks on U.S. forces in the region from “Iranian-backed militants” in the coming days. Tensions in the Middle East have allowed these groups to feel freer to target U.S. troops because of Iran’s growing influence.
The publication's sources claim that intelligence has warned of expected strikes from Iran and Hezbollah. It is not yet known what kind of attacks will be and who will launch the assault.
Biden was scheduled to meet with his national security team on August 5 to discuss the situation in the Middle East. On the night of August 6, the Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq, where the US is based, was attacked by rockets, injuring at least five people.
