US troops were injured in a heavy missile and rocket attack on the Ain al-Asad airbase on Saturday as US forces continue to come under attack due to President Biden’s support for Israel’s slaughter in Gaza.
According to US Central Command, “multiple ballistic missiles and rockets” were launched at the base, and most were intercepted while some impacted the base. CENTCOM said a “number” of US personnel were being examined for traumatic brain injuries, and one Iraqi soldier was wounded in the attack.
CENTCOM blamed the attack on “Iranian-backed militants,” referring to Iraq’s Shia militias. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Shia militias, took credit for the missile and rocket fire, according to Al Mayadeen.
According to the Pentagon, US bases in Iraq and Syria have come under attack 140 times since mid-October. The US has launched several rounds of airstrikes in both countries in response, including a drone strike in Baghdad that killed a deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a coalition of Iraqi militias that’s part of Iraq’s security forces.
The Iraqi government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has strongly condemned the US strikes as a violation of sovereignty and is calling for an end to the presence of the US-led international coalition in Iraq, known as Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR).
OIR is in Iraq in the name of fighting ISIS, although the US presence is more about pushing back against Iran’s influence. Al-Sudani has said Iraq’s security forces can handle the ISIS remnants that are left in the country.
U.S. bases in Syria and Iraq come under attack? How about doing what both of those countries want you to do……leave.
The US never leaves, and actually believe that their home is in Poland..
It’s never fun to be without a job, Google Paying 167 in Hr USD Bucks. especially if you depend upon a weekly paycheck to make ends meet. To help keep the money coming in while looking for a new job, tz states do provide unemployment insurance for workers who are out of work.

I believe their home is actually in Poland.
Not just Leave…! Leave and pay the damage… Specially to Syrians for all the stolen oil and food which have ended up in Iraqi Kurdistan…!
Medicare for all, high speed rail, and free education would make the US strong.
Yes, we desparately need a paradign shift (aka revolution). … Otherwise the ruling class will kill us all … without batting an eye.
I will take the free education for sure, dont want medicare. And while your at it, getting rid of the power hold by main stream media would be a plus. Would clear the air on a lot of things
Note in Kyle Anzelone’s piece how the Senators are now openly recurring to the phrase about “the need to maintain global domination”. It’s the neocons stripping the final veil.
Iraq security forces may be able to handle terrorists in Iraq if they’re lucky, but not Iraqi Kurdistan which harbors Israeli-supported terrorists…!
The US needs to get the hell out of the ME – all of it.
Please share only dead soldiers news. Injury stories are dime a dozen, like how I injured myself cutting a toenail.
Sorry, news is spoon fed these days, you will eat what is put before you on the plate, and make sure you finish it all please. Dont you know there are starving children in off grid rural areas without the internet still?
When you set up camp in someone else’s back yard, you deserve what you get.
Where I came from, we called it an invasion, or if you prefer, an illegal (not sanctioned by the “host” government) occupation (cf. Iraq, Syria).
